Packers defensive backs coach Jerry Gray, Rams assistant Ejiro Evero among top candidates to succeed Mike Pettine

GREEN BAY - Even though the list of candidates to replace defensive coordinator Mike Pettine has been picked apart, Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur still has several good options as his search hits full stride.

LaFleur began interviewing candidates over the weekend after it was announced Friday that he would not retain Pettine after two seasons together.

Among the candidates LaFleur is strongly considering and either has or will interview are:

* Secondary coach Jerry Gray, who joined LaFleur’s staff a year ago and has eight years’ experience as a coordinator with Buffalo (2001-05) and Tennessee (2011-13).
