ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- When Wes Welker signed with San Diego as an undrafted free agent, he admired fellow wide receivers Tim Dwight and Eric Parker.
As he enters his 11th season in the NFL, he is now taking on the role as mentor for younger players, especially rookie receiver Isaiah Burse.
“It's funny how he was an undrafted free agent, too, and he became so successful,” Burse said during rookie camp. “Just seeing him is kind of like a dream. For me, it's like I know I can do it. If he can do it -- not taking away from his ability or anything -- but I know if he can do it, I can do it. I want to learn everything from him so I can be successful, as well, in the future.”
