Who is Sean Payton’s son Connor? Delving into family of new Broncos HC

Sean Payton was appointed as the Denver Broncos head coach earlier this year. The 59-year-old previously served as the coach for the New Orleans Saints from 2006 to 2021 (barring 2012).

Payton led the Saints to the franchise's first Super Bowl title in 2010 and the Broncos will be hoping that he brings them similar success.

Amid the excitement around Payton's monitoring his first OTAs with Denver, fans have been curious to learn more about the head coach's personal life, especially his son Connor.

Connor was born to parents Sean and Beth on May 31, 2000. He attended Liberty Christian School in Texas.

Connor played football for the Liberty Christian Warriors and also played basketball for the Black Bears Club. Having studied in Texas, he is a huge fan of the TCU Horned Frogs.

Moreover, Connor has also reportedly worked in the New Orleans Saints' Scouting Department as his father Sean was previously the head coach for the NFL franchise.

On January 28, 2022, Netflix released the film 'Home Team', which featured the story of the Payton family, which also featured Connor.

Connor has an elder sister named Meghan, who works as a football journalist. He also has two step-sisters, Molly and Maggie McGuire.
