Wes Welker quotes:

When I first came into the league, I was with Tim Dwight in San Diego, and a guy named Eric Parker, who really showed me the work ethic it takes to be an NFL receiver, and I've really tried to keep that with me.

When I'm answering questions from the Denver media, I'm not worried about what the Broncos' people are going to think. I'm worried about what Belichick will think. Isn't that crazy?

I think the older you get, the more you realize how important life is, the more you think about your family.

Basically, I really like to train. That's what keeps me busy during the offseason - just training and getting my body right and getting ready for the next year.

I go out there with whatever the coaches call, and whatever they do, I just go out there, and I'm the player. Coaches coach, and players play.

I can't say Boston is 'home-home.' It's definitely a place I'm growing accustomed to. It's such a great sports town.

You always think you're one of those players who will be in one place the whole time, one of those guys they'll never let leave because you play hurt, do what it takes. But it's a different age. A lot of coaches, they like having younger guys.

I grew up playing soccer and always loved playing it.

Everyone is on the same page and putting their best foot forward.

I haven't missed many games in my career, so it is tough, and it makes you appreciate and it makes you hungry and ready to get back out there and ready to go out there and compete -- especially in a time of the year like this.
