Packers lose coaching consultant Aubrey Pleasant to Rams

Aubrey Pleasant, who arrived in Green Bay as a coaching consultant late last season, won’t be back with the Packers in 2023.

According to Field Yates of ESPN, Pleasant is headed to Los Angeles to be the Rams’ new defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator.

The Packers are expected to hire former Arizona Cardinals cornerbacks coach Greg Williams as the team’s new cornerbacks coach and passing game coordinator, replacing Jerry Gray, who left for Atlanta.

In November of last year, Packers coach Matt LaFleur brought on Pleasant – after he was let go by the Detroit Lions – to provide a defensive perspective to the offensive side of the coaching staff. LaFleur and Pleasant worked together previously in Washington and Los Angeles.

“He’s a really knowledgeable guy when it comes to the game,” LaFleur said. “I thought he could bring a different perspective to our offensive staff, just seeing it through the lens of a defensive coach. He’s going to do a lot of self-scout work for us.”

Before joining the Lions, Pleasant was the Rams cornerbacks coach from 2017-2020.

Pleasant is from Michigan but played college football in Madison at the University of Wisconsin. He’s been coaching at the NFL level since 2013.

As of Friday, Feb. 17, the Packers have not announced a finalized coaching staff for the 2023 season.
