Cardinals add likely first-ever female coach to a NFL team's staff

[stillers4me]

On Monday, the Arizona Cardinals (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/ARI/arizona-cardinals) did something that no other NFL team in the history of the league has done before. The Cardinals are believed to be the first team to add a female coach to their staff.


Jen Welter, 37, will join the Cardinals coaching staff for the summer. Welter will help coach the team's inside linebackers during training camp and the preseason. Welter's role isn't a long-term job, as she'll be a coaching intern during the summer, but it's still a likely NFL first and has the potential to lead to further opportunities.........

That's pretty cool. 14 years of pro football experience in a women's league, so she definitely knows the game.

And when she's not busy, she can make the other coaches some sandwiches.
