Fans and many inside the 49ers' Santa Clara building know him as "DJ Kray." He has spent the past two years as the team's chief of staff after spending the previous four years as an administrative assistant under head coach Kyle Shanahan.
The following is Kray's bio, provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
Kray joined San Francisco after serving as the assistant director of football operations at North Carolina State University for two seasons (2015-16). Before his time at NC State, Kray was director of football operations and player development at Ball State University in 2014.
Kray has also spent time as director of football operations at Yale University (2012-13), as an offensive and special teams assistant at Villanova (2010-11), and as the defensive ends and defensive quality control coach at Eastern Illinois (2008-09).
A native of Glendale Heights, IL, Kray played collegiately as a defensive lineman at Eastern Illinois University, where he was a member of two Ohio Valley Conference championship squads and three Football Championship Subdivision playoff teams while serving as a team captain in 2006 and 2007. He has one son, Nicholas Alexander Kray, with Allie Meyer.
