For the first time ever, a woman has been hired as an NFL coach. The AP reports that Dr. Jen Welter has just been hired by the Arizona Cardinals to coach inside linebackers during the team’s upcoming preseason and training camp. Welter had previously made history when she played special teams and running back for the Indoor Football League’s Texas Revolution, which was the first time a female athlete held a non-kicking position in a men’s professional sports league. On Twitter last night, Welter wrote, “I am honored to be a part of this amazing team“…
And Phoenix is glad to have you Dr. Welter!…
