The Green Bay Packers announced the addition of 15 new coaches who joined the staff in May and June as part of the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship.



So 15 coaches including Collins and Burnett were added for May and June months.

Also for historians, Packers.com noted that Shea Pitts (UCLA), whose father, Ron, and grandfather, Elijah, both played for the Packers. Which some people might remember as players, or Elijah also went on to be an NFL coach, while Ron went on to be a sports broadcaster.

Green Bay’s safeties are getting some veteran help this summer

The Green Bay Packers have announced  that former Packers  safeties Nick Collins and Morgan Burnett are among the 15 coaches that the team has brought in through the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship. The Bill Walsh Fellowship enables high school and college coaches to collaborate with NFL teams during the summer, thereby expanding the pool of candidates available for professional-level openings.


According to the Packers’ press release, here is the team’s 15-person fellowship class for 2025:




Ryan Alexander (LSU  offensive analyst)


Caleb Moore (Arizona assistant coach - offense)


Jeff Beckles (former Ball State running backs coach)


Mike Brown (Notre Dame  wide receivers coach)


Grant Newsome (Michigan offensive line coach)


Shea Pitts (UCLA defensive analyst)


Jason Hatcher (former NFL defensive lineman)


Larry Knight (Arkansas State defensive ends coach and defensive run game coordinator)


Josh Jones (San Antonio Brahmas defensive backs coach)


Asa Jackson (Cal Poly cornerbacks coach)


Nick Collins (Bethune-Cookman cornerbacks coach)


Morgan Burnett (Walton High School safeties coach)


Ike Brown (LSU associate development coach)


Leo Lui (Washington University assistant sports performance coach)


Gary Wilkins (former Georgia Tech  player development coach)




More and the two Browns  have previously been members of the Packers’ Walsh Fellowship program in the past. Green Bay’s current special teams quality control coach (Cory Harkey) and offensive assistant (Jeremiah Kolone) have been hired after getting their start with the Packers via the fellowship, so don’t be surprised if one of these names ends up with Green Bay full-time at some point.


Collins was a three-time All-Pro in his seven-year NFL career before he suffered a career-ending neck injury. Burnett started 102 games for the Packers over eight seasons before ending his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers  and Cleveland Browns.
