Wesley Carter Welker, born on May 1, 1981, is a former NFL wide receiver and current wide receivers coach for the Miami Dolphins. Known for his exceptional skills and versatility, Welker is widely regarded as one of the greatest undrafted players in NFL history. His journey began at Texas Tech University, where he earned first-team All-Big 12 honors and won the prestigious Mosi Tatupu Award. Despite going undrafted in 2004, Welker's determination and talent quickly made him a standout in the league, particularly for his ability to excel in both receiving and special teams.

Welker's NFL career took off when he joined the Miami Dolphins, where he set the franchise record for kickoff return yardage in his first three seasons. However, it was his trade to the New England Patriots in 2007 that truly solidified his legacy. During his five seasons with the Patriots, Welker led the league in receptions three times and earned Pro Bowl selections each year. He also set the franchise record for receptions and became one of only 12 players in NFL history to score a 99-yard touchdown. His contributions were instrumental in the Patriots' offensive success during that era.

After his time with the Patriots, Welker joined the Denver Broncos, where he continued to make an impact. In 2013, he was part of the Broncos team that set the NFL record for points scored in a single season. Welker's ability to find open space and make crucial catches in high-pressure situations made him a key asset for the Broncos' high-powered offense. He finished his playing career with the St. Louis Rams in 2015, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most reliable and productive slot receivers in NFL history.

Following his retirement as a player, Welker transitioned into coaching, beginning his career in 2017. In 2021, he returned to the Miami Dolphins as their wide receivers coach, bringing his wealth of experience and knowledge to the next generation of players. His coaching career has been marked by the same work ethic and attention to detail that defined his playing days, making him a valuable asset to the Dolphins' coaching staff. Welker's contributions to the game, both as a player and coach, have earned him a place among the NFL's most respected figures.
