The New York Giants are hiring Angela Baker as a minority coaching fellow and offensive quality control coach, reports Field Yates of ESPN.

The 29-year-old Baker most recently served as the kickers and punters/special teams/defensive quality control coach for the the University of Redlands Bulldogs, a Division III school out of Southern California.

Baker also has on-field experience, having played for the Pittsburgh Passion in the Women’s Football Alliance (full-contact). During that time, she was named a seven-time All-American and the 2016 National Conference Offensive Player of the League.

While with the Cleveland Browns as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coach Fellowship program, Baker worked with the team’s quarterbacks. She helped analyze film, study the playbooks and identify quarterback weaknesses.

Baker, who is a New York native, graduated from Slippery Rock University (PA) with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Fitness Management.

Baker joins Laura Young, the Giants’ director of coaching operations, as the only other female on the coaching staff.
