The return of in-person NFL owners meetings has put Cincinnati Bengals Executive Vice President Katie Blackburn into the spotlight.
Blackburn, the eldest child of team president and owner Mike Brown, has represented the team down in Palm Beach, Florida this week, as her duties are expanding beyond just running the team her grandfather created 55 years ago.
Last November, it was revealed that Blackburn would become the first women to join the league’s competition committee.
On Wednesday, NFL Football Operations Executive Vice President Troy Vincent Sr. officially welcomed Blackburn to the committee.
