Welker is a much smaller guy and had not been out the whole year before trying to recover from a bad back and broken arm. All the injuries add up and my guess is each time an athlete sits out part of a season for several months of recovery his body loses some of that athletic "gift" they are born with. Even with a good recovery he'll lose a step of speed and won't be nearly as agile for cuts , accelerations and decelerations.
I wish him luck. He is a great guy to have on our side when he's healthy!
Oh , I also think the DB's and Safeties are using the no high hit rules to hide behind what is now routine "spearing" of runners and receivers legs. They can deny it all they want and blame the NFL but I think they are intentionally trying to hurt people.
