The 49ers announced the addition of eight coaching interns, including the first woman in franchise history to serve in an instruction role.
Katie Sowers worked with wide receivers Tuesday for the first day of the 49ers’ mandatory minicamp as part of the team’s 2017 Bill Walsh NFL Diversity Coaching Fellowship. She is expected to remain with the club at least through training camp.
Sowers worked with the Atlanta Falcons last summer during training camp. She worked primarily with Falcons wide receivers coach Raheem Morris and Mike LaFleur, who now serves as 49ers wide receivers coach and passing game specialist.
