The New York Jets are hiring their first woman coach, Collette Smith, as a preseason intern who will work with the team’s defensive backs during training camp.
“I’m over the top. I’m humbled and I’m proud,” Smith said, via the New York Daily News. “This could have happened with any NFL team. But it just so happened that it was with my beloved New York Jets. This is bigger because of that.”
- Jets rookie WR/KR Brisly Estime, unfortunately, suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon on Wednesday during practice and will be placed on injured reserve if/when he clears waivers in the coming days.
