Jennifer King, who served as a Carolina Panthers intern during the 2017 preseason, reportedly will join the Washington Redskins' staff as a full-time assistant coach, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic.
King will become the first full-time African American female coach in league history and the fourth woman with a full-time assistant job overall, per Walker. Collette Smith was the NFL's first black female coach, serving as an intern with the New York Jets in 2017.
King served as an intern for Carolina from May through August 2017 under then-Panthers head coach Ron Rivera, who now leads the 'Skins after being hired in December.
