A former San Francisco 49ers first-round pick is hoping to land an NFL coaching job.

Two sources told Sporting News that Andre Carter is meeting with the Miami Dolphins about their assistant defensive line coach vacancy.

Carter, 37, was the No. 7 overall pick by the 49ers in the 2001 NFL Draft. He played there for five seasons before going to Washington on a lucrative free-agent contract. He played there for another five years.

Carter continued to flourish after he signed with New England in 2011, earning his first and only Pro Bowl berth during a 10-sack campaign that was truncated by injury. Carter then played with Oakland (2012) before returning to the Patriots in 2013 to finish his NFL career.

Carter spent the 2015 season as a student assistant coach at his alma mater Cal.

The Dolphins are seeking a new assistant defensive line coach after Jim Washburn left the team following the end of the season.
