    In preparation for the 2025 NFL season, Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers have taken a step closer to finalizing Matt LaFleur’s coaching staff. Several departures left the team in need of new voices. After the season, defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich was fired. He was eventually replaced by DeMarcus Covington, a former defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

    Now there’s another coach on the defensive staff.

    When there was an opening for the defensive quality control coach, they turned to one of the assistants in the AFC:

    Per Zach Kruse of Packers Wire, the connection to Covington is likely what led to the hire:

    “The connection likely led to the hiring. Lett and Covington played college football together at Samford, and they coached together at UT-Martin for a year.”

    It will be interesting to see if Green Bay gets Lett a new top cornerback to work with on the free agent market or via the NFL Draft, as it appears that Jaire Alexander’s time with the Packers is coming to an end.

    Fans were quick to react to this news:
