The start of mandatory minicamp was bittersweet for Packers corner Jaire Alexander. On one hand, he was back on the field with his teammates for the first time since last season. On the other, one of his favorite coaches was nowhere to be found.
Jerry Gray coached Green Bay’s defensive backs for the last three seasons. Over that span, the Packers’ secondary never finished outside the top 10 in passing yards allowed. So, when his contract expired after the 2022 season, it didn’t take long for him to find a new home.
Gray was initially considered for the Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator opening.
