Overview

• The Packers officially announced on July 24 that Nathaniel Hackett will join the defensive staff as a part-time consultant/analyst.
• Hackett previously served as Green Bay’s offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2021 before head-coaching the Broncos and coordinating the Jets’ offense.
• He has begun working closely with the linebacker unit, reviewing film and offering an offensive perspective to defensive schemes.
• This move mirrors last season’s hire of Robert Saleh in an offense-focused consultant role, reflecting LaFleur’s cross-disciplinary coaching strategy.
• The role allows the team to leverage Hackett’s play-calling experience and relationship with players without reinstating him in a full-time coordinator position.
