Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton introduces bizarre new rules for NFL preseason... including a ban o

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton has brought in some interesting new rules  ahead of his first season in charge.

Before Denver's first preseason game on Friday, Payton has decided that after the starters are pulled, they are not allowed to wear sunglasses, bucket hats, remove their uniforms, or do mid-game interviews. 

'I don't want to see 10 guys on the field. I don't want to see uniforms off after we're done playing, sunglasses on, Gilligan hats on, interviews during the game. That's what I don't want to see,' said Payton.

Payton has long been known as a disciplinarian and is looking to change the culture that was instilled last season under former head coach Nathaniel Hackett.

Tension recently reached a high point between the Broncos and the New York Jets -where Hackett is now the offensive coordinator - when Payton said his predecessor Denver might have delivered 'one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL'.

 Payton was recently blasted for his criticism of Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett's coaching job

Hackett, a first-year head coach, lasted just 15 games with Denver as the team went just 4-11 under his leadership and finished the season with the worst scoring offense in the league. 

Payton spent 15 seasons as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints before he temporarily retired in 2022.

Following his comments Payton was called out by Jets offensive lineman and former Bronco Billy Turner on Instagram.

'Seems like someone started training camp and is trying to soften the blow after realizing what he's in for this season. F***ing Bum,' Turner said in a post on his Instagram story underneath Payton's words.

Turner started in seven of the eight games he played for Denver last season. He also played under Hackett in Green Bay when Hackett was the team's OC. 

Denver and New York will face off in Week 5 of the regular season.
