Finally, Wes Welker is getting the chance to say what he really thinks.
The former wide receiver spent 11 years playing in the NFL – about half of which he played in New England (six seasons). During three of those six seasons, he led the entire league in receptions (2007, 2009, 2011), and to this day, he remains New England’s franchise leader in career receptions.
There were, however, two things Welker could never do while he was a Patriot. One: win a Super Bowl, and two: speak freely with the media.
He has a chance to amend that first career achievement omission this weekend, albeit as a coach.
