Wes Welker
Quick bio: Welker is one of the best-known NFL receivers in the past decade or so with successful stints with the Dolphins, Patriots and Broncos. He piled up just short of 10,000 career receiving yards on 903 career catches in a decorated 12-year NFL career. Welker recently took a job as an offensive analyst with the Houston Texans.
Pros: Welker is a household name for football fans and would bring credibility as somebody who knows the ins and outs of the position and as a recruiter. Butch Jones met with him earlier in the offseason while searching for other openings, so there’s been at least some communication between the two.
Cons/Questions: Welker is likely going to stick with the professional route since he took the job with the Texans.
