Dolphins assistant to participate in diversity networking program

Dolphins tight ends coach/assistant head coach Jon Embree will participate in the NFL’s coach accelerator program at the league’s spring meeting in Minneapolis next week.

It’s the second year the league will hold the diversity networking program, following the inaugural event in 2022. Embree is one of 40 coaches who will participate.

The program “aims to increase exposure between owners, executives, and diverse coaching talent, providing ample opportunity to develop and build upon their relationships,” according to a release from the league.

Embree is entering his second season as Miami’s tight ends coach and assistant head coach, joining head coach Mike McDaniel from the San Francisco 49ers as a member of his inaugural staff. Embree has also coached tight ends with the Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had a two-year stint as head coach at Colorado, his alma mater.
