Zack Grossi (pronounced: grah-SEE) enters his third season with the Denver Broncos and his first as passing game specialist in 2024. He was hired by the club on Feb. 28, 2022.
During Grossi's second season with the club in 2023, the Broncos' wide receivers thrived, with wide receiver Courtland Sutton recording 10 touchdown catches to become the first Bronco since 2014 to record double-digit touchdown receptions in a season. Denver's 28 scores through the air—20 of which were by wide receivers—were the most by the team since 2014.
In his first season with the team in 2022, Grossi helped coach a wide receiver room that featured two pass catchers who each recorded over 800 receiving yards. Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy posted career highs in receptions (67), yards (972) and touchdowns (6), while wide receiver Courtland Sutton totaled 64 catches for 829 yards (13.0 avg.) with two scores.
Grossi joined the Broncos after spending two seasons (2020-21) at Southern University and A&M College (Baton Rouge, La.). Performing the role of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Grossi helped guide the offense to 32.0 points per game during his tenure.
Before Southern University, Grossi worked as quarterbacks coach at Hampton University during the 2019 season. His quarterback room posted a 139.2 passer rating while leading an offense that scored 40 points or more five times.
Prior to his three years at the collegiate level, Grossi spent five seasons in the NFL, performing multiple roles for Tampa Bay. He spent his first year (2014) as a scouting assistant before working as a pro scout (2015), assistant to the head coach (2016) and an offensive quality control coach (2017-18).
Grossi began his coaching career at his alma mater, Concord University, working as an offensive graduate assistant following the completion of his undergraduate degree in 2013. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in recreation and tourism management.
As a player, Grossi appeared in 27 games at quarterback over four seasons (2009-12) at Concord, completing 536-of-905 passes (59.2%) for 7,052 yards with 57 passing touchdowns and five rushing scores. He concluded his playing career ranked first in Concord history in completions (536) and touchdown passes (57), and second in passing yards (7,052).
