Daily News | Eagles’ Autumn Lockwood set to become the first Black woman to coach in a Super Bowl
linebacker Christian Elliss is still waiting to see assistant sports performance coach Autumn Lockwood frown. He’s convinced it may never happen.
Javadifar is the Buccaneers’ director of rehabilitation and a performance coach, and Locust recently joined the Tennessee Titans as a defensive quality control coach.To make the moment even more special, Lockwood will make history in the state that played a role in her sports career. She played soccer at the University of Arizona, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in 2015.
“When this opportunity came up to go to Philly, it was kind of a no-brainer to encourage her to go,” McCadam said. “We hated to see or leave and was wanting to continue to help and watch her grow with our athletes. But it’s kind of hard to pass up when your dream opportunity comes your way.”As a part of the Eagles’ sports performance staff, Lockwood is not only helping the players improve physically — she’s also focused on making their mental health a priority.
Lockwood also distributed journals to interested players, including cornerback James Bradberry. He has started doodling and writing down his thoughts in the journal, giving him a newfound opportunity to be introspective on a regular basis.
