Jen Welter Becomes First Female NFL Coach and Few in Football Will Care

I've been Twitter friends with Jen Welter, who just made NFL history, for over a year. This past March, I wrote I would not be shocked if she were an assistant coach in the NFL one day. I just didn't think it would be this soon, but here we are at this great moment in time.

I'm honored to be part of the #BIRDGANG! Love the #footballfamily here with the #ArizonaCardinals #NFL... http://t.co/vPdmyKH2hi
