He's not, which is why it was so absolutely ridiculous when people tried to prop up Edelman as a possible HoFer. If Welker isn't, how can anyone have the audacity to say a dude who is a fraction of the player could be one?Obviously he wasn't your traditional outside WR and deep threat, but he's a two time first-team all-pro and a two time second-team all-pro.
I know there are a lot of Patriots fans that like Edelman more and diminish what Welker did here, with a lot being because of an off target throw in a Super Bowl, but I respect what Welker did here in New England.
