The Washington Commanders have made a significant addition to their coaching staff by hiring Wes Welker, a former All-Pro wide receiver, as a personnel analyst.

Welker's extensive experience on the field and on coaching staffs will be invaluable in developing the Commanders' wide receiver corps, particularly for emerging talent like Luke McCaffrey. His previous roles included coaching with the Miami Dolphins and as a wide receiver coach with the San Francisco 49ers where he notably helped Deebo Samuel reach new heights.

His partnership with GM Adam Peters, who previously worked with him in San Francisco, adds another layer of synergy within the Commanders' organization as they aim to elevate their offensive strategy. Welker's insights could be pivotal as Washington looks to revamp its passing game ahead of the 2025 season.
