Welker was a special slot receiver who thrived having not 1, but 2 HOF QB's throwing to him. I still always liked him and is tough comparison for Rex. I obviously feel Rex has running back skills after the catch. I think Welker's ability to get a defender to commit quickly and then go the other direction was his strength. Like I said, it helped he had HOF QB's who trusted him enough to give him the time to beat the DB or LB.

Rex will probably never be the slot receiver Welker has been--few ever will.  Welker is a lock for the HOF.  But he will add more versatility in an offense because he is a running back first and foremost.

Welker was an excellent PR, so he has that over Rex, but does anyone else think Rex would be a pretty good KR?
