Lemuel Jeanpierre (pronounced leh-mew-ELL zhon-pee-AIR) joined the Miami Dolphins in 2020 and was named assistant tight ends coach in 2026. He previously served assistant offensive line coach for five seasons (2020, 2022-25) and offensive line coach (2021).

The 2026 season marks Jeanpierre's 16^th in the NFL – six as a player (2010-15) and ten as a coach (2017-26).

In 2025, Jeanpierre helped mentor an offensive line that did not allow a sack in four games which tied for the third most in the league. The Dolphins also rushed for 100 yards in each of those four games, becoming one of only four teams that year to record 100-plus rushing yards without allowing a sack in four or more games.

The line, anchored by center Aaron Brewer, helped running back De'Von Achane rush for 1,350 yards and post a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry. Brewer was named Second-Team All-Pro and a finalist for the inaugural Protector of the Year Award at the NFL Honors.

In 2024, Jeanpierre helped coach an offensive line that blocked for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who completed 291-of-399 passing attempts, leading the NFL and setting a new franchise record for completion percentage with 72.9. The Miami offense improved significantly in the second half of the season with an emphasis on sustaining longer, methodical drives, tying for fourth-fewest three-and-out possessions in the NFL with 26 and ranking fourth in average time of possession (31:43).

The line also blocked for Achane, who became the first Dolphins player to have at least 750 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in a single season.

Following the 2024 season, Jeanpierre was also selected as the offensive line coach of the National Team in the 2025 Senior Bowl.

In his first four seasons with the team, the Dolphins posted four consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 1997-03. Miami earned back-to-back playoff berths from 2022-23, marking the first time the team had consecutive playoff appearances since 1997-2001.

In 2023, Jeanpierre worked with an offensive line room that led the NFL in fewest quarterback hits allowed (59), despite starting 12 different combinations, which was second-most in the NFL, only behind the N.Y. Jets' 13. Miami ranked fourth in the league with 31.0 sacks surrendered. The Dolphins made big strides on offense, finishing the 2023 season as the league leader in total offense (401.3) and passing offense (265.5), second in scoring offense (29.2) and sixth in rushing offense (135.8). It was the first time Miami led the NFL in total offense since 1994. Jeanpierre helped left tackle Terron Armstead earn the fifth career Pro Bowl selection of his career.

As assistant offensive line coach in 2022, Jeanpierre helped the Dolphins finish with a top 10 offense (sixth, 364.5 yards per game), something Miami had not done since 1995. The Dolphins were second in yards per play (6.1) and second in net yards per pass attempt (7.7). Miami's 35 sacks allowed were tied for the ninth-fewest in the league. Tackle Terron Armstead, who was added as an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, was named a starter for the AFC Pro Bowl team in his first season with Miami.

In 2021, Jeanpierre oversaw a Dolphins offensive line that featured just one starter over the age of 25 and progressed throughout the season. Miami improved from 21st in the NFL in sacks allowed from Weeks 1-8 to tied for 13th in the league in the second half of the season.  The Dolphins also improved their rushing attack by more than 25 yards per game in that span.

In his first season with Miami in 2020, Jeanpierre helped the Dolphins win 10 games for the first time since 2016. He helped mentor an offensive line that had three rookies start a combined 37 games and finish in the top half of the league in sacks allowed (34.0, tied for 15th). Tackle Austin Jackson, guard/tackle Robert Hunt and guard Solomon Kindley made history when they became the first trio of Dolphins draft picks to start a game as rookies together on the offensive line.

Prior to joining the Dolphins, Jeanpierre served as the assistant offensive line coach for the Oakland Raiders from 2018-19.

In 2019, Jeanpierre helped the Raiders offensive line limit opponents to just 29.0 sacks. The team had four games where they didn't allow a sack. The 29 sacks allowed were the eighth-fewest in the NFL. The Raiders offensive line also helped running back Josh Jacobs rush for 1,150 yards, becoming the first rookie in team history to have a 1,000-yard rushing season. Two of Oakland's offensive linemen – tackle Trent Brown and center Rodney Hudson – earned Pro Bowl honors.

Jeanpierre's first season with Oakland was in 2018, where he helped a young offensive line that featured two rookie starters – tackle Kolton Miller and tackle Brandon Parker. Miller became the first rookie offensive linemen to start every game for the Raiders since 2011. Parker started 12 consecutive games to end the season. The offensive line helped protect quarterback Derek Carr, who had then-career highs in passing yards (4,049), completion percentage (68.9), completions (381) and yards per attempt (7.3). The Raiders completed 68.7 percent of their passes, breaking the franchise record and ranking fifth in the NFL that season. Hudson and guard Kelechi Osemele were both selected as Pro Bowl alternates.

Jeanpierre earned his first coaching job in 2017 with the Seahawks, where he was hired as an offensive assistant. He focused primarily on the offensive line, where he helped tackle Duane Brown earn his fourth Pro Bowl honor.

Prior to his coaching career, Jeanpierre played six NFL seasons (2010-15) as a center and guard with Seattle, appearing in 63 games with 11 starts. He played in nine postseason games and helped the Seahawks win three NFC West titles and two NFC Championships in addition to Super Bowl XLVIII. He also spent time with Kansas City (2010) and Detroit (2016).

Jeanpierre began his NFL career as an undrafted college free agent after a collegiate career at South Carolina where he started games on both the offensive and defensive lines.

He was born in Gretna, Louisiana and moved to Orlando, Florida, where he played at Timber Creek High School and earned first-team all-state honors as a defensive lineman. He is of Haitian descent.

Jeanpierre and his wife, Jaylene, have two sons, Isaiah and Kairo, and a daughter, Yana.
