When former NFL wide receiver left the New England Patriots after the 2012 season, he finished his playing career with two years with the Denver Broncos and one with the St. Louis Rams.
Then, in 2017, Welker joined the Houston Texans as an offensive and special teams assistant. He joined the San Francisco 49ers as wide receivers coach in 2019 and followed Mike McDaniel to the Miami Dolphins for the same role in 2022.
On Friday, the Dolphins fired Welker after his third season working a wide receiver room that included Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
