For 13 seasons, Rod Smith put up extraordinary numbers as a wide receiver for the Broncos that fooled the experts and made him the most prolific pass catcher in team history.

When Smith finished his career in 2006, he had caught 849 passes from a throng of Denver quarterbacks. Those 849 receptions stand as a record for an NFL player not drafted — Smith was undrafted coming out of Missouri Southern in 1994.

Now Wes Welker comes along as a prolific wide receiver from Texas Tech who was overlooked in the 2004 NFL draft.
