My grandpa has a signed photo of Wes Welker hanging on his wall. He got it when Welker showed up at his nursing home to visit his grandmother, and now it has just as much prominence in his room as pictures of his family. The significance of this information is that the presence of this picture means that every time I visit my grandpa, I get to hear about how all the state schools screwed up by not recruiting Wes Welker.
In retrospect, this is absolutely true. He was Mike Leach's best weapon while at Texas Tech, then after being undrafted he latched on in the NFL and eventually became Tom Brady's favorite target. Over the past four seasons, Welker has caught north of 100 passes for better than 1,000 yards in three of them, including the 2009 season where he missed two games with a torn ACL.
