Wide Receiver – Wes Welker
It seems like it’s been a century since we’ve seen or heard from him, but Wes Welker needs to make this All-Decade team. Unfortunately he never earned a ring, but Welker was one of the most productive players in the entire NFL when he was with New England.
He was only on the team for three seasons, but he racked up over 1,000 yards twice and made the Pro Bowl in all three seasons. In 2010 Welker had 88 receptions, he had 122 receptions in 2011, and he had 118 receptions in 2012.
During his three seasons with the Pats, Welker would total 7,459 receiving yards and 37 touchdowns. Welker helped evolved the ‘slot’ wide receiver position in the NFL.
