Wes Welker Joins Commanders as Personnel Analyst

Wes Welker, a former two-time All-Pro wide receiver and notable figure from the New England Patriots, has joined the Washington Commanders as a personnel analyst. Welker, who played for teams like the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos and coached for the Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers, and Miami Dolphins, will work with both the personnel and coaching staff in Washington. His hiring reunites him with Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, a former teammate from Texas Tech, and general manager Adam Peters, with whom he worked in San Francisco. His move to Washington follows his recent nomination to the Patriots Hall of Fame. Welker's NFL career included leading the league in receptions three times and earning five Pro Bowl honors. In Washington, he will likely influence the team's strategy with a focus on their wide receiver group, which includes players like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.
