Now as a Texans offensive and special teams assistant coach, the former All-Pro receiver will take on a variety of responsibilities.
"He’s going to help us on offense, obviously," head coach Bill O'Brien said Wednesday in Indianapolis. "He’s going to help us in special teams with our returners. He’s going to help us with some of our DBs – our situational DBs. He’s breaking down a ton of film, helping us in the draft. He’s doing everything that an entry level coach would do."
In 12 NFL seasons, Welker amassed 1,000 receving yards or more five different times.
