Former Green Bay Packers receiver Myles White, an undrafted free agent signing of the team in 2013, is returning to Green Bay to be an assistant wide receivers coach on Matt LaFleur’s staff. John Brice of Football Scoop was the first to report the hiring.
White, 33, was the wide receivers and passing game coordinator at Miami (Ohio). Prior to joining Miami in 2022, White coached receivers at Stephen F. Austin in 2021 and was a quality control assistant for SMU in 2019 and 2020.
In 2023, White joined the Packers staff for two months as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship. The opportunity almost certainly helped White land a spot on LaFleur’s staff in 2024.
White is expected to work under receivers coach Jason Vrable, who also serves as the passing game coordinator. Vrable could be potentially hot coordinator candidate for the next hiring cycle, so beginning to develop White as a successor makes sense. LaFleur is doing the same at the quarterback position, where former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion is being added to work under Tom Clements and Connor Lewis.
The Packers signed White as an undrafted free agent out of Louisiana Tech in 2013. He spent two seasons in Green Bay, catching nine passes on 12 targets for 66 yards. The Packers released him before the 2015 regular season, and he went on to play for the New York Giants, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the NFL level and Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Toronto Argonauts in the CFL before joining the coaching ranks.
