Cardinals Reportedly Bringing on Israel Woolfork as QB Coach

In this story:
The Arizona Cardinals have quickly added to their coaching staff since introducing head coach Jonathan Gannon, and now it appears quarterback Kyler Murray will have a fresh face at his positional coach.
CBS Sports' NFL insider Josina Anderson is reporting that Israel Woolfork is accepting the position.
I'm now told that #Browns Bill Willis diversity coaching fellow Israel Woolfork has been informed he can join the Arizona #Cardinals staff, per league source. Woolfork is currently expected to be named as the #Cardinals QB coach.

Woolfork got his first opportunity in the NFL thanks to Cleveland's Bill Willis Coaching Fellowship. The Browns -per their website - created the opportunity for a rising minority coach with a focus on the offensive side of the ball.
He previously coached running backs and wide receivers at Miami University.
Woolfork is just the latest addition to a Cardinals coaching staff that looks like this:
Head Coach: Jonathan Gannon
Offensive Coordinator: Drew Petzing
- OL Coach Klayton Adams
- WR or Passing Game Coordinator Drew Terrell
- QB Coach Israel Woolfork
Defensive Coordinator: Nick Rallis
Special Teams Coordinator: Jeff Rodgers
Woolfork has the task of trying to maximize Murray's talents, which can come as even a greater challenge with his recovery from a torn ACL.
More so, he will be tasked with preparing whoever the Cardinals have at quarterback until Murray is deemed healthy enough to return.
