Jennifer King has made history by becoming the first black woman to be appointed a full-time coach in the NFL.
Her promotion to assistant running backs coach was confirmed on Tuesday by Washington Football Team.
She spent the 2020 season as an intern under Washington head coach Ron Rivera, and running backs coach Randy Jordan.
“Coach King is well deserving of the promotion,” said Rivera. “She earned this opportunity with her hard work. The sky is truly the limit for her.”
