Extremely appreciative of the
@NFL
recognizing the Women’s Careers in Football Forum and the amazing female coaches in the league during Draft weekend. I was honored to be able to speak about both during the
@NFLDraft
in the city of Cleveland where my NFL career began.
Dawn is the first woman in the industry that I looked up to as a young college student trying to find my way in football. I truly value her mentorship today. Great to see her on stage inspiring the growing pipeline of women 👏🏽
#NFLDraft2021
For the 2nd year in a row, Dawn Aponte,
@NFL
Chief Football Admin Officer, announces Draft selections.
She is the only woman to ever do so and has spoken at the
@NFL
Women’s Careers in Football Forum all 5 years to help ensure there is a strong pipeline of future Dawn Apontes.
Congratulations to
@aawashington_3
👏🏽 She left such an impression during her Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship this summer that the
@ChicagoBears
could not let her leave! Big shoutout to
@ChampKelly1
and the Bears front office on this forward progress!

A truly sad day… I will always remember Wayne as one of the kindest and most genuine colleagues that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. A great man with a great heart ❤️
Rest in peace, Wayne Mackie.
Wayne became a head linesman in 2007 — quickly establishing himself as one of the top officials. In 2017, he joined the
@NFLOfficiating
department, focusing on training & development.
He will be forever remembered as one of the kindest individuals.

Equipment managers must know – down to the player – exactly which equipment will be required to get that player back in action, and they can’t spend a bunch of time trying to figure it out.

it’s a big day out in The Land!! And it’s an absolute honor to help carry out your original vision so all these amazing women have the opportunity to stand where they belong ✊🏽
The day is here. Haven’t been this excited for a regular season game since I was a kid.
The game signifies more than individual achievements. It’s the first true marker of the mission we set 5 years ago: normalize women in football.

I was fortunate to work with Coach McGovern the first few years of my career at BC. He was an incredibly kind and patient person and such a talented coach. Please keep his family in your prayers ❤️

Great piece learning about an NFL executive legend, Bill Nunn Jr., who part of the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship is named in honor of. I’ve had the opportunity to hear a few stories about Mr. Nunn from
@Uncommon_Saint
who worked with him at PIT. Truly a great football mind.
