Patrick Smyth enters his 23rd season with the Denver Broncos and 17th year leading the franchise's public relations as Chief Communications Officer.

A University of Florida graduate, Smyth leads the Broncos' award-winning public relations and community impact departments with alignment across football and business operations. He is the primary spokesperson for the Broncos and Empower Field at Mile High, serving on the Senior Leadership Team and Denver Broncos Foundation board.

Smyth directs football and corporate communications strategy, overseeing community engagement, alumni relations and digital media messaging. He advises the Broncos' ownership, CEO, president, general manager and head coach on communications and organizational matters while working closely with players.

During his Broncos tenure, Smyth has supported 10 winning seasons, seven division titles, four AFC Championship Game appearances, two Super Bowl berths and one World Championship with eight head coaches, five general managers and two ownership groups.

The Broncos' PR team has twice won—and been a nine-time finalist for—the Pro Football Writers Association's Pete Rozelle Award under Smyth. It was honored following the Broncos' Super Bowl XLVIII appearance (2013) and Super Bowl 50 victory (2015) during the winningest four-year period (2012-15) in franchise history.

Smyth has overseen the Broncos' community impact since 2017, helping the organization earn ESPN's Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year in 2022 after three consecutive finalist selections. His digital leadership includes Top-10 NFL rankings in engagement and social valuation from 2020-22 along with Webby and Emmy Awards.

Joining the Broncos in 2004 as a media relations graduate assistant, Smyth became one of the youngest PR directors in NFL history in 2010 at age 27. He began his career as a PR intern with the Super Bowl XXXVII-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002 and gained experience with Florida athletics (2001-04), the Philadelphia Flyers (2002) and Philadelphia Eagles (2002).

Smyth graduated from Florida with highest honors and a bachelor's degree in public relations. He received Florida's Outstanding Young Alumnus award in 2011 and was named to Denver Business Journal's "40 under 40" in 2012.

A Wilmington, Del., native, Smyth is married to Leslie with sons Patrick and William.
