Former New England Patriots legend Wes Welker has landed a job on the Washington Commanders' staff as a personnel analyst, per ESPN’s John Keim.
Welker spent the last six seasons working as a wide receivers coach for the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers. He'll now take his coaching talents to Washington, where he'll work under coach Dan Quinn with both the personnel and coaching staffs, per Keim.
The move will reconnect Welker with star wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who he worked with during his time in San Francisco. He will also reunite with his former Texas Tech teammate, Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.

Welker was one of the most prolific receivers in Patriots history and one of legendary quarterback Tom Brady's favorite targets. He had 672 receptions for 7,459 yards and 37 touchdowns in New England.
Some hoped that Welker would join Mike Vrabel's new coaching staff as a wide receivers coach, but the Patriots decided to go with Todd Downing instead.
