Christian Parker is familiar with the Packers, as he began his NFL coaching career with them in 2019. At the time, the 34-year-old was a defensive quality control coach and held that role for two seasons. In 2021, the Denver Broncos hired Parker to be their defensive backs coach. He held that position for three seasons before joining the Eagles.

Before joining the NFL, Parker spent several years as an assistant coach at different colleges. He was a defensive backs coach at Virginia State (2013-2014) and Norfolk State (205-2016) before joining Notre Dame (2017) as a defensive analyst. He then went to Texas A&M (2018) to hold the same position.
