The Washington Football Team is making former coaching intern Jennifer King a full-time offensive assistant for the 2021 season, which makes her one of the higher-ranking female coaches in the NFL.
King spent the 2020 season as her first in the NFL, having previously spent time at Dartmouth College, and serving time as an intern with the Carolina Panthers.
Last season, King spent a lot of her time helping running backs coach Randy Johnson, and they had a big task on their hands, getting the most out of both J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber while also working to transition rookie Antonio Gibson into the league after splitting time at RB and WR in college.
Obviously, Rivera was impressed with her work, and she will stay with the team going forward.
