The Gren Bay Packers hired John Donovan as a senior analyst to complete Matt LaFleur’s coaching staff for the 2022 NFL season.
Donovan, a collegiate defensive back, has been coaching football since 1997, mostly at the college level. He was an offensive assistant for four years (2016-19) with the Jacksonville Jaguars, providing the connection to former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Over the last two seasons, he was the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for Jimmy Lake at the University of Washington.
Donovan, 47, will be working on the defensive side of the football for LaFleur, giving the defensive staff an offensive mind in the room.
Washington fired Donovan as offensive coordinator with three games to go in the regular season in 2021.
