Jen Welter calls coaching gig "breathtaking" experience

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jen Welter's groundbreaking days as an interim NFL coach are nearing an end.

"It's been fantastic," she said. "This is such a good group of guys who I think really embraced what could have been a challenging situation, and they just ran with it. I mean, these players and these coaches have just been fantastic for me. It's been like a dream come true."

When head coach Bruce Arians brought in Welter as an intern working with Arizona's inside linebackers, she became the first woman to hold any coaching position in NFL history.

"We showed little girls that even in the final frontier of sports that anything is possible," she said.
