Wes Welker’s eyes are blue-gray and wide. Their gaze is steady, and their focus is like something alive. It misses nothing in a circular field of vision that seems greater than other people’s. Welker sees spaces that nobody else sees. He looks at a field where everyone seems to be colliding and sees a place to run. He looks at a game played by much bigger men and sees a place in which a man who stands 5’ 9" and weighs 185 pounds can create a kind of art…. Wes Welker looks at a noisy, crowded, violent profession and sees a career.
