The Chiefs recently hired Tiffany Morton as their newest athletic trainer, the team’s first female to fill the role.
The National Athletic Trainers Association said recent years have seen a significant rise in the percentage of female members in the male-dominated organization, meaning Morton might be the odd woman out for now, but folks should expect to see plenty more ladies working the sidelines — and not holding pom-poms.
Ariko Iso made headlines in 2002 when she became the NFL’s first female athletic trainer. She worked for the Pittsburgh Steelers for nine years before joining the staff of her alma mater, Oregon State.
