The Indianapolis Colts hired Sanjay Lal as their wide receivers coach, the team announced Wednesday.

Lal replaces Lee Hull, who served as the Colts' wide receivers coach last season.

Lal has spent 10 seasons in the NFL ranks, including the last two years as the Buffalo Bills' wide receivers coach. Last year, Bills wide receivers accounted for 11 touchdowns and in 2015, Sammy Watkins recorded his first 1,000-yard campaign.

Prior to arriving in Buffalo, Lal spent three seasons with the New York Jets (2012-14). He spent five seasons with the Oakland Raiders as the assistant wide receivers/quality control coach (2007-08) and wide receivers coach (2009-2011).

Lal was the offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach at the University of California for three seasons before joining the NFL.
