According to a story posted late Tuesday night by Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers are set to hire Colorado State wide receivers coach Alvis Whitted.

Whitted would join the staff of first-year coach Matt LaFleur.

Whitted joined the Colorado State program in 2012, a first-year coach hired by Jim McElwain. In his time with the Rams, he coached a pair of Biletnikoff Award finalists in Rashard Higgins and Michael Gallup. With Preston Williams having a stellar season in 2018, the top three receivers in program history in terms of single-season yardage all were coached by Whitted. All three earned All-America recognition.

Witted played nine years in the NFL and started his collegiate coaching career as an offensive quality control coach at UCLA.

His departure would make him the second coach to leave head coach Mike Bobo’s staff in the past week, joining cornerbacks coach Eric Lewis, who is now at Boston College. The Rams have also lost strength and conditioning coach Ryan Davis to Maryland this week.

The Rams begin spring camp Feb. 14.
