There’s a woman in NFL coaching now

Good morning! This is your daily roundup of NFL stuff.

WHO RUN THE WORLD: Jen Welter is the name of the former indoor football running back who has a Ph.D. in psychology and is now an Arizona Cardinals preseason coaching intern. She’s likely the first woman to hold an NFL coaching position of any kind, and this is all good and fine. (Guess what? The NBA could have a woman as a head coach soon too.)

The Cards might’ve forecasted this move, with head coach Bruce Arians saying months ago that he’d hire a woman if it meant making his players better.

ALL-MADDEN: EA Sports is trickling out player ratings, because this is July and that is the sport’s most vital commodity until training camp Instagrams arrive. Here is the best possible offensive starting 11, captained by Aaron Rodgers.
