Packers officially dismiss Maurice Drayton, promote John Dunn to TE coach

The Green Bay Packers officially dismissed special teams coordinator Maurice Drayton and promoted from within to replace tight ends coach Justin Outten.

The team announced Drayton will not return as special teams coordinator in 2022, and coach Matt LaFleur promoted senior analyst John Dunn to tight ends coach.

Drayton was the assistant special teams coordinator for three seasons in Green Bay (2018-20) before LaFleur promoted him to coordinator for the 2021 season. The Packers struggled mightily on special teams, culminating in a calamitous performance in the NFC divisional round against the San Francisco 49ers that featured a blocked field goal and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown.
