The Washington Commanders hired a big name on Monday. They hired former All-Pro wide receiver Wes Welker to a staff role, with the official title of personnel analyst.
What exactly is a personnel analyst? Welker began coaching in 2017 and has been a wide receivers coach for the previous six seasons (three in San Francisco and the last three in Miami). In his role with the Commanders, Welker will assist the coaching staff while also working with general manager Adam Peters and his staff.
Welker's hiring is a reunion of sorts for him. First, there's offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
