Connor Lewis enters his second season as pass game specialist/game management and his 11th season with the Packers. Originally hired as a football technology analyst intern in 2016, Lewis spent three seasons (2017-19) as a football technology analyst. He joined the coaching ranks as an offensive quality control coach in 2020 and then was promoted to special teams assistant/game management specialist in 2021 and assistant quarterbacks coach in 2022, a position he held from 2022-24.
Lewis was part of an offensive staff that helped the Packers rank tied for No. 6 in the NFL last season in explosive plays (128), tied for No. 8 in explosive passes (86) and tied for No. 7 in sacks allowed (29). Green Bay ranked No. 3 in the league in giveaways (13), tied for the second-best single-season mark in team history, and tied a franchise mark with only six fumbles lost on the season. QB Jordan Love ranked No. 6 in the league with a career-best 101.2 passer rating and posted a career-best TD/INT ratio of 3.83 (23 TDs, six INTs), also good for No. 6 in the NFL.
During his time assisting with the quarterbacks, Lewis aided in the development of Love, who was tied for No. 5 in the NFL in TD passes (57) and No. 6 in passing-TD percentage (5.7) in 2023-24. Love posted multiple TD passes in 19 games from 2023-24, tied for No. 3 in the league over that span, and was one of only two QBs in the league (Lions QB Jared Goff) to throw 25-plus TD passes and register a passer rating of 95.0-plus in both 2023 and 2024.
Love was named a Pro Bowl alternate in '24 after ranking No. 7 in the NFL in passing TDs per game (1.67) and No. 6 in TD percentage (5.9). He posted a career-high 33 completions of 25-plus yards (tied for No. 6 in the NFL) and ranked No. 4 in the league in yards/completion (12.65) and No. 5 in yards/attempt (7.97). Lewis also assisted in the tutelage of QB Malik Willis, who was acquired by the Packers in a trade on Aug. 27, 2024. Willis started two games (Weeks 2-3) in place of an injured Love and saw significant action in two other contests (Weeks 8 and 18), completing 40 of 54 passes (74.1 pct.) on the season for 550 yards and three TDs with no INTs for a 124.8 passer rating, the top single-season rating in NFL history among QBs with 50-plus attempts. Willis became the first NFL quarterback since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to post a 120-plus passer rating and 40-plus rushing yards in both of his first two starts with a team.
In 2023, Lewis worked with Love as he became just the third QB in NFL history to post 4,000-plus passing yards (4,159) and 32-plus passing TDs (32) in his first season with multiple starts, joining Kurt Warner (1999) and Patrick Mahomes (2018). Love was one of only four QBs (Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, Baker Mayfield) to rank in the top 10 in the league in passing TDs (No. 2), passing yards (No. 7) and TD/INT ratio (No. 7, 2.91) in 2023. Love's 32 passing TDs were the fourth most by a QB in his first season with multiple starts, trailing only Mahomes (50 in 2018), Warner (41 in 1999) and Daunte Culpepper (33 in 2000). Love threw for multiple TD passes with no INTs in a league-high nine games on the season.
In 2022, Lewis assisted with QB Aaron Rodgers, who ranked tied for No. 5 in the NFL in completions of 20-plus yards (53) and ranked No. 7 in TD passes (26). In 2021 as a special teams assistant/game management specialist, Lewis worked closely with the special teams staff and focused on opponent scouting and game-plan preparation.
As an offensive quality control coach in 2020, Lewis worked with former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett with a focus on coaching the offensive line, a unit that allowed one sack/zero sacks in 13 games on the season, tied for No. 1 in team history. T David Bakhtiari and C Corey Linsley were both named first-team All-Pro by The Associated Press, while Bakhtiari and G/T Elgton Jenkins each received Pro Bowl honors.
As a football technology analyst, Lewis assisted the offensive coaching staff in data analysis, playing rules and game management. He worked closely with director of football technology Mike Halbach on various projects to help the coaching staff be prepared for upcoming games.
Prior to arriving in Green Bay, Lewis spent the 2015 season as an independent consultant for the Oakland Raiders. He was instrumental in evaluating contracts and building a database for the Raiders to store personnel items. Lewis was also responsible for calculating projected values of contracts and verifying key financial metrics for players across the league.
In his first role in the NFL, Lewis worked in the football analytics and information department with the New York Giants in 2014. He studied opponent trends and game-management situations to be used by the coaching staff. Lewis also assisted the coaching staff with self-scouting and opponent analysis.
Lewis earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics with a corporate strategy minor at Vanderbilt University (2010-14). While attending school, he spent three seasons working in the football office (2012-14), assisting the director of player personnel, the director of recruiting and the coaching staff. Lewis worked primarily with player personnel in evaluating high school prospects. He also spent time with the ticket-services department with the Tennessee Titans while attending school.
Born Aug. 20, 1992, in Littleton, Colo., Lewis was a three-year letterman at Chatfield Senior High School (2006-2010) in Littleton, earning all-conference honors as an OLB in 2009. He also lettered in lacrosse for three years. Lewis currently resides in Green Bay with his wife, Krista, and their daughters, Ellie and Emma.
