Jennifer King Made NFL History — Becoming the League’s First Black Woman Full-Time Coach. 🏈✨
Jennifer King entered the record books in 2021 when she became the first Black woman to secure a full-time NFL coaching position, joining Washington as an assistant running backs coach.
She now serves as the running backs coach for the Chicago Bears, continuing to break new ground in a league where women — and especially Black women — remain vastly underrepresented in coaching and leadership roles.
King’s rise underscores the importance of representation in professional sports and highlights how talent, preparation, and determination can open doors in spaces long considered off-limits. Her success is shaping a pathway for future generations of women in football.
