Wes Welker explains why he didn’t attend Tom Brady’s roast, was ‘disappointed’ in his former teammate’s event
Wes Welker caught 567 catches for 6,345 yards and 34 touchdowns in 78 games played with Tom Brady, but the wide receiver was not willing to catch any stray jokes that may have come his way at the quarterback’s roast.
Many of Brady’s teammates were on stage during the event, including Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman.Notably absent was Welker, who comes in fourth for Brady’s favorite end zone target with 38 touchdowns. Only Gronk (105), Edelman (41) and Moss (40) have caught more touchdown passes from TB12.
Welker was someone many expected to see during the star-studded night. He explained his absence, saying he was not up for the types of jokes being said, perhaps not wanting a few key drops from his career in New England to be brought back to light.
