Christian Parker enters his second season as defensive backs coach with the Denver Broncos in 2022. He was hired by the club on Feb. 8, 2021.

Parker, who has three years of NFL experience, spent two seasons with Green Bay, serving as a defensive quality control coach from 2019-20. In addition to his time in the NFL, Parker has six years of collegiate experience, coaching at Texas A&M (2018), Notre Dame (2017), William & Mary (Spring 2017), Norfolk State University (2015-16) and Virginia State University (2013-14).

In his first season with the Broncos, Parker was part of a coaching staff that helped the defense tally its fewest points per game (18.9) since 2016. The Broncos' defense ranked in the Top 10 in points allowed (18.9—3rd), red zone percentage (50.0—3rd), fourth-down percentage (32.3—4th), total yards per game (326.1—8th) and passing yards per contest (214.8—8th).

Parker helped coach safety Justin Simmons to his second Associated Press All-Pro team while cornerback Pat Surtain II earned NFL Rookie of the Week and AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors (Week 12), along with being selected to the 2021 Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team. Last season, four members of the Broncos' secondary recorded at least one interception and combined for 12 picks in total.

With the Packers from 2019-20, Parker focused on the defensive secondary (cornerbacks) while assisting in breaking down opponent game film and analyzing their offensive tendencies. He also was responsible for helping develop the playbook, compiling team and player reports, and coordinating the opponent scout team.

The Packers ranked ninth in the NFL in scoring defense the last two seasons (21.3 ppg) while picking off the 12th most passes (28). Quarterbacks had a combined 86.1 passer rating from 2019-20 against the Packers, which was the ninth fewest in the NFL during that span. Cornerback Jaire Alexander was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2020, becoming the youngest Packer to make the league's annual All-Star game in seven years.

As a defensive analyst for Texas A&M in 2018, Parker worked primarily with the secondary and helped the Aggies rank ninth in the nation in third-down defense (30.3%). Prior to joining the Aggies, Parker spent the 2017 season as a defensive analyst at Notre Dame after serving as the cornerbacks coach at William & Mary during the offseason.

Parker worked as defensive backs coach/recruiting coordinator coach at Norfolk State from 2015-16. He started his coaching career as the cornerbacks (2013) and secondary (2014) coach at Virginia State.

A four-year player at the University of Richmond, Parker was a member of Colonial Athletic Association championship teams in 2009 and 2012. He graduated from Richmond with a bachelor's degree in political science.
