Wesley Carter "Wes" Welker is an American football wide receiver and return specialist for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He played college football for Texas Tech University and was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent. He later played for the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots.

Welker also holds the record for most receptions by any undrafted player in NFL history, passing Rod Smith in 2014. As a Patriot, Welker led the league in receptions in 2007, 2009, and 2011. Welker holds the four highest single-season reception totals in Patriots' history, as well as four of the top 10 receiving yardage totals, including the franchise record. He also holds the franchise records for most receptions in a single game, most receiving yards in a single game, longest reception, and career receptions.
