"They ignored Wes Welker on draft day.

They won't ignore him on Super Bowl Sunday.

Welker, the player nobody wanted, led the league in catches this season and has had more receptions than any player in the league since 2007. He has had four 1,000-yard receiving seasons and has been named to the last four Pro Bowls.

You might say the little guy has arrived.

He might have arrived as a Bear instead of a Patriot if fate had been kinder to Jerry Angelo."
