Wes Welker note

The National Football Post | National Football Post Brunch News

Wes Welker has 6+ receptions in 10 straight games. With six or more receptions on Sunday against St. Louis, the New England Patriots wide receiver will become only the fourth player in NFL history with at least six catches in each of his team’s first seven games of a season.

Following are the players with six or more receptions in each of their team’s first seven games of a season:

PLAYER       TEAM                   YEAR
Mike Ditka   Chicago Bears          1964
Jimmy Smith  Jacksonville Jaguars   2001
Hines Ward   Pittsburgh Steelers    2004

Assuming the National Football Post is correct, with 7 receptions against the Rams Wes Welker has joined some fine company... Congrats!
