Hired March 10, 2023, Rob Grosso begins his second season as an offensive quality control coach for Green Bay. Grosso (GROW-so) joined the Packers after serving as a defensive quality control coach for the Arizona Cardinals for four seasons (2019-22), where he assisted with the defensive backs.
Grosso was part of an offensive staff that helped the Packers rank No. 3 in the NFL in 2023 in sacks allowed (30), tied for No. 6 in giveaways (18) and No. 5 in third-down percentage (47.1), one of two teams (49ers) to finish in the top six in all three categories. He worked primarily with the tight ends, helping Luke Musgrave (34-352-1) and Tucker Kraft (31-355-2) become only the second rookie TE duo since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to both post 30-plus receptions, 350-plus receiving yards and a receiving TD (Patriots TEs Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, 2010).
Grosso was part of a defensive staff that helped Arizona rank No. 2 in the NFL in yards allowed per completion (10.10) in 2022, the top single-season mark by the Cardinals since the 1970 merger, and tied for No. 3 in completions of 20-plus yards allowed (40). S Budda Baker earned his fourth straight Pro Bowl selection, the only safety in the NFL to be named to the Pro Bowl each season in 2019-22. In 2021, the Cardinals ranked No. 7 in the NFL in takeaways (27) and No. 8 in offensive points allowed (349), and S Jalen Thompson was one of only three DBs in the league to post 100-plus tackles (team-high 120), three-plus INTs (three) and five-plus passes defensed (seven). In 2020, Grosso was part of a staff that helped the Cardinals rank No. 10 in the NFL in passing defense (226.4 ypg) as CBs Patrick Peterson and Dre Kirkpatrick both posted three INTs.
Grosso came to Arizona after spending the 2018 season with the Denver Broncos as the assistant to the head coach under Vance Joseph. Grosso also assisted with the team's outside linebackers and special teams. For the first time in team history, the Broncos featured two players with 12-plus sacks in OLBs Von Miller (14½) and Bradley Chubb (12). Grosso was elevated to that position after serving as an operations intern with the Broncos in 2017.
Grosso worked with the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League during the 2017 season as a coaching/player personnel intern. He got his start in the NFL with Denver as a training camp operations intern (2015-16) before working as a volunteer assistant scout with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders (2016-17) and as a scout for Sports Info Solutions in 2016. His first coaching experience came at his alma mater, John Carroll University, when he served as a student coaching/recruiting assistant in 2014-15.
Grosso played wide receiver at John Carroll for three seasons (2011-13) and earned his bachelor's degree in business administration and management from the school in 2015. He was born on Sept. 22, 1993, in Buffalo, N.Y., and grew up in Lackawanna, N.Y.
