Callie Brownson Becomes The First Female Position Coach In NFL

Callie Brownson, the chief of staff of the Cleveland Browns, has become the first female position coach in an NFL game. This means that Brownson is the highest-ranking female coach in league history. She was made the interim tight end coach in a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars when Drew Petzing couldn't make the game. Before the game, she tweeted “I’m just, thankful”. Austin Hooper scored a touchdown in the game, which allowed the Browns to win 27-25 over the Jaguars. Sarah Fuller has also recently made history by becoming the first woman to play in a Power 5 college football game. While in 2019, Sarah Thomas became the first female to officiate an NFL playoff game
