Report: Packers hiring Jerry Gray to coach secondary
 
Posted by Darin Gantt on January 28, 2020, 2:19 PM EST

The Packers moved quickly to hire a new defensive backs coach.

According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Packers are hiring former Vikings secondary coach Jerry Gray for the same job on his staff.

Gray will replace Jason Simmons, who left to take the same job for the Panthers.

Gray spent the last six years with the Vikings, and has been defensive coordinator with the Titans and Bills. He spent nine years in the league as a player with the Rams, Oilers, and Buccaneers.

The Vikings have fielded some phenomenal defensive backs in recent years, but it remains to be seen whether there's enough raw material in Green Bay for Jerry Gray to produce a lockdown secondary week in and week out.

Perry could be a big help in our division since he spent six years coaching the Vikings secondary.
He should know his way around the division pretty swell.

Jerry gray has been with Vikings since 2014 season serving as a defensive backs coach under Zimmer. Here are some players that have seen recent success under Gray:

Xavier Rhodes: 3 times Pro-Bowl
Harrison Smith: 5 times Pro-Bowl
Anthony Harris: Tied league in 2019 for most interceptions “6”.

Can see how he could help the young studs groom into potential pro-bowl caliber players.

So how did we end up with this guy? Was he no longer under contract with Minnesota? If not, how come?

Here's to hoping he can save josh Jackson and get some development out of Kevin king and the extremely disappointing jaire Alexander.

I disagree with “extremely disappointing”. I think Jaire is an excellent corner and the best corner we have had in a long time. And a good tackler, not afraid to stick his nose in on a running play.

Not saying he isn't a good player, I think I just expected him to make a 2nd year jump and become a top corner in the league. Instead he looked good for the first 4 weeks of the year and then spent the rest of the year getting burned over and over. He was humiliated by Amari Cooper and was never the same.

Boy do we have exceedingly high standards. It leads to a lot of disappointments.

Here is what PFF has to say about JA. They rank him as the 11th best CB.

11. JAIRE ALEXANDER, GREEN BAY PACKERS
At just 22 years old, Jaire Alexander is one of the youngest players on PFF’s top-25 list. He excels in both man and zone coverage from both press and off-man alignments, and despite spending 36% of his 608 coverage snaps in press coverage on the line of scrimmage, Alexander allowed the third–lowest completion percentage (56.1%) and recorded the second-best forced incompletion percentage (20.4%) among cornerbacks who saw at least 90 targets over the course of the season.

Even though he has a smaller frame than Gilmore and Sherman, the 5-foot-10 Alexander typically draws the difficult assignment of covering the opponents’ No. 1 wide receiver. However, he still allowed only an 87.8 passer rating (41st among corners, one spot above Casey Hayward) and broke up 13 of the 98 passes that were thrown his way. As experience contributes to his development, Alexander is sure to remain a fixture among the top players at his position.

He has the 3rd lowest completion percentage at 56.1%. That means like it or not the majority of passes thrown will be completed. Looking at one play or one game isn't taking into account the full body of work on the season. And it doesn't take into consideration the 100 or more plays where the pass didn't get thrown his way.
