Chad Morton
Coaching Administrator
Chad Morton, a seven-year NFL veteran as a player, begins his first season in the coaching ranks as Green Bay's coaching administrator. He takes over the position previously held by Scott McCurley, who was named defensive quality control coach in February.
Morton's responsibilities include assisting in the preparation of the team's weekly game plan, game film preparation, and compiling player statistics and grades. His practice duties include assisting with the defensive and special
teams units.
Morton, 32, was a running back and kick/punt returner, who began his career with New Orleans in 2000 as a fifth-round draft pick. Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy served as the Saints' offensive coordinator at that time. Morton went on to play two seasons with the New York Jets (2001-02), two with Washington (2003-04) and two with the New York Giants (2005-06).
Serving primarily as a returner as a pro, Morton tallied 5,401 career kickoff return yards and three kick return scores, as well as 1,431 career punt return yards and one score, in 93 career games. He was named a Pro Bowl alternate returner in '02 and '05. While with the Jets in 2002, Morton returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in a contest at Buffalo, making him the fifth player in NFL history to return two kickoff for scores in the same game, also establishing himself as the first player ever to return a kickoff for a touchdown in regulation and in overtime. In 2000 with the Saints, Morton tied the NFL single-game playoff record with 13 receptions, against the Minnesota Vikings.
Morton was an All-Pac-10 selection at Southern California, where he served as the team's primary running back his final two seasons. He led the team with 1,141 yards and 15 touchdowns on 262 carries as a senior, and ranks 11th on the Trojans' all-time career-rushing list with 2,511 yards.
Born in Torrance, Calif., Morton attended South High School in Torrance, where he played running back and also ran track. His older brother, Johnnie, played wide receiver for 12 seasons (1994-2005) in the NFL, including eight with the Detroit Lions.
Morton and his wife, Tamra, reside in De Pere, Wis. They have two sons, Avery and Aiden. He enjoys spending time with his family, working with computers, developing Web sites, entrepreneurship and community service.
