Report: Wes Welker joins Commanders coaching staff

Former two-time All-Pro wide receiver Wes Welker is joining the Washington Commanders’ coaching staff, ESPN reported Monday.

Welker, 43, was fired by the Miami Dolphins in January after three seasons as wide receivers coach and pass game specialist. Welker became an NFL coach as an offensive assistant with the Houston Texans in 2017 and was also a receivers coach for the San Francisco 49ers (2019-21).

Welker made the Pro Bowl five times as a member of the New England Patriots when he led the NFL in receptions three times.

He had 903 receptions for 9,924 yards and 50 touchdowns over 175 games (102 starts) in 12 seasons for the San Diego Chargers (2004), Dolphins (2004-06), Patriots (2007-12), Denver Broncos (2013-14) and St. Louis Rams (2015).
