Hired March 21, 2024, Todd Hunt enters his first season as a strength and conditioning assistant for the Packers. His primary duties include assisting with the day-to-day responsibilities of the comprehensive strength and conditioning program with an emphasis on working with the combo group that includes linebackers, tight ends, running backs, quarterbacks and specialists.
Hunt joined the Packers after serving as a strength and conditioning assistant for the Cincinnati Bengals for the past five seasons (2019-23). Throughout his time with the Bengals, Hunt helped lead the physical development of new and young players and assisted multiple key starters as they returned to play after sustaining significant injuries, including QB Joe Burrow. After suffering a season-ending knee injury in his rookie season in 2020, Burrow started all 16 regular-season games in 2021 on his way to earning the NFL Comeback Player of the Year from The Associated Press and leading the Bengals to an AFC North Division title, an AFC championship and a berth in Super Bowl LVI. In 2022, Hunt helped Burrow return to form in time for the regular-season opener after an emergency appendix surgery sidelined him for three weeks during training camp.
Hunt also played an integral role in the organization's strength and conditioning efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic when training was prohibited at the team's facilities during the offseason and was limited during the 2020 regular season. Hunt and the rest of the staff adjusted and worked with seven draft picks that went on to play a combined 96 games as rookies in 2020.
Prior to the Bengals, Hunt spent the 2018 season at the University of Illinois, serving as an assistant strength coach for the football program. He was part of a staff that helped the Fighting Illini average 244.2 yards per game on the ground, which ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten.
Hunt began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Fresno State University, where he worked with the Bulldogs' defensive linemen in 2016-17.
Before transitioning to coaching, Hunt was a defensive end at Fresno State for five seasons (2011-15), playing in 47 career games with 27 starts. He served as a team captain for the Bulldogs as a senior in 2015.
Hunt earned his bachelor's degree at Fresno State and also completed his master's at the school.
Born in Stamford, Conn., Hunt moved to California as a senior in high school and attended Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif., where he was named an Orange County All-Star at defensive end. Hunt and his wife, Michelle, currently reside in De Pere, Wis., with their two sons, Jackson and Titus, and their daughter, Brooklyn.
