The San Francisco 49ers are set to name Wes Welker their wide receivers coach. Welker spent the past two seasons as an offensive assistant with the Houston Texans and interviewed with the 49ers a week ago Monday.
Beat writer John McClain had the first report that Welker was leaving for the 49ers, and Matt Barrows followed up to confirm it would be as wide receivers coach. The team has yet to announce the hiring.
Welker was a plenty talented receiver, and it will be fascinating to see what he can do with the 49ers receiving corps.
