He's ****ing 3.5 inches taller than me and 28 lbs lighter and he's banking like a Robber Barron. It's not because he got blessed by God like Megatron - he's ****ing intelligent and resilient...

NFL article on Welker "2) Ask yourself how does he do it, and marvel at his smarts
Not the kind of smarts that the Wonderlic test measures, but smarts when it comes to how to read coverage, how to adjust, how to be patient sometimes and quick at others and when to break off a route when the blitz is coming. Smarts means not only knowing his playbook, but knowing his quarterback and the guy who is covering him."
