The Green Bay Packers have completed the most important positions of their defensive coaching staff. On Tuesday night, the team agreed to terms with former Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley to be the Packers’ pass game coordinator, according to ESPN’s reporter Rob Demovsky.
Role
The pass game coordinator role was added by Matt LaFleur in 2021 as a way to promote then veteran defensive backs coach Jerry Gray, who held the position for two seasons before leaving for a job with the Atlanta Falcons.

Last year, Greg Williams was hired for the position. When Green Bay hired Jeff Hafley as its new defensive coordinator, Williams was informed that he would not be retained and was allowed to take interviews elsewhere.
With the Ansley addition, the Packers will actually have three coaches specialized on defensive backs. Besides him, there will be Hafley himself, who has a background with secondary, and defensive backs coach Ryan Downard, who was retained by head coach Matt LaFleur.
