Wes Welker might just be the luckiest receiver in the history of the NFL.
Welker’s gone from one quarterbacking legend to another, in Tom Brady of the New England Patriots to Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos. But things weren’t always as rosy for the future Hall of Fame slot receiver.
The short receiver’s football history dates back to Texas Tech, were he was dubbed “The Natural” for being able to affect the game in three different ways. Welker was a good running back, a great receiver and a world-class punt returner. He finished his career with the Red Raiders compiling 456 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the ground, 3,000 yards and 21 scores through the air and an amazing eight touchdowns on returns, which is still an NCAA record.
