The Arizona Cardinals made a little bit of NFL history Monday evening.
Head coach Bruce Arians has hired Dr. Jen Welter as a training camp/preseason intern who will work with the Cardinals' inside linebackers.
Welter is believed to be the first female to be hired as a coach in the NFL.
“Coaching is nothing more than teaching. One thing I have learned from players is, ‘How are you going to make me better? If you can make me better, I don’t care if you’re the Green Hornet, man, I’ll listen.’ I really believe she’ll have a great opportunity with this internship through training camp to open some doors for her,” Arians told the media Monday, via the Cardinals' official site.
