A Leaked Clip Shows Broncos Coach Sean Payton ‘Ripping A Bong’

While the 2023 NFL Draft is in progress, Sean Payton, the head coach of the Denver Broncos, seems to have already sparked controversy.

A Leaked Clip Shows Broncos Coach Sean Payton ‘Ripping A Bong’

Early in 2022, after the Saints missed the playoffs for the first time in five years, Payton announced his initial retirement from coaching. But after taking a year off, he went on job trials in Carolina, Arizona, and Houston before being hired by the Denver Broncos.

Yesterday, a video that appeared on social media appeared to show Sean Payton, the new head coach of the Denver Broncos, assimilating into his new state’s culture by puffing on a foamy bong.

The man in the video looks to have short blonde hair styled in a similar manner to Payton’s, albeit it is uncertain where or when the video was shot. Payton smoking would make sense if this were recorded in Denver because Colorado was one of the first few places to legalize marijuana.

Not just Payton but other people have also been observed using a bong. A Twitter video showing offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil smoking from a bong that was linked to a gas mask surfaced before to the 2016 Draft.

To be fair to Tunsil, he did get over the event and, after being traded to the Houston Texans, became a three-time Pro Bowler. Casual followers, though, are still more likely to associate him with the bong video.

Why even consume pot in the first place if it was Sean Payton and you didn’t yell “BRONCOS COUNTRY, LET’S RIDE” when he was ripping that bong? Talk about a chance lost.

I’m not really sure what’s going on, but after seeing the video and smoking a bong, I find it difficult to believe that’s truly Sean Payton.
