Potential of our Receivers

I posted this in another thread, but it seems to fit here, as well:

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, there has never been an instance in NFL history where a team had four or more players play at least one game for a team in a season and each of those players had at least 900 receiving yards the previous season (either for that team or a different team). The Patriots have five as you mentioned.

Close enough.

It occurs to me that all that experience at the middle and bottom of the roster may help Mallett and Hoyer to look a bit more special in the preseason. Maybe they could even entice a needy team or two to come calling.

All the talk of Gaffney and nobody mentions his blocking? Go back and watch some if the lanes he created for Welker on screens. He is a football player. Nothing flashy, does his job, rarely makes mistakes and gives the extra effort to help his teammate get the extra inch.

I hope the years have been nice to him, I was sad to see him go.
