Jerry Gray, 63, joins the 49ers as defensive backs coach, reuniting with former head coach Raheem Morris. Gray was the Falcons’ assistant head coach of defense in 2023 and has a long NFL coaching resume, including stints with the Titans, Redskins, Seahawks, Vikings and Packers.
The move comes as the 49ers retain most of their defensive assistants from last season, with Kris Kocurek on the line, Johnny Holland on linebackers and Ray Brown on cornerbacks, while adding Gray to strengthen the secondary under Morris.
