The Washington Football Team hired Natalie Dorantes to serve as its coordinator of football programs, making her the first Latina to fill that role in the NFL. Dorantes also will become the third woman to have this job.
Dorantes will work closely with and help coordinate schedules across various departments within the team, from medical to scouting. She will work closely with Washington Football Team coach Ron Rivera.
Callie Brownson, the Cleveland Browns' chief of staff, and Sarah Hogan, the Atlanta Falcons coordinator of head coach operations, are the other women in similar roles.
Dorantes participated in the NFL's women's coaching forum in February and was part of Rivera's virtual roundtable.
