Top 5 Receivers That Tom Brady Has Played With

Tom Brady is one of the all-time great NFL quarterbacks, but yet he has never had a league-leading receiving corps over a long period of time. However, there are a handful of players that meet such high demands. Here they are.

5. Julian Edelman (2009-present)

In his early years, Edelman was a role player in the Patriots offense because of stars like Moss, Welker, and Gronkowski (hint, hint). But after injuries and departures, Edelman became the key receiver in the offensive scheme. Since then, he has averaged at least 60 yards per game and close to 100 receptions in his full seasons, including a game-tying TD pass and game-winning TD catch in the 2014 playoffs.

4. Wes Welker (2007-2012)

After also being a role player in his early seasons, Welker came to New England and became a key to many of New England’s historic offenses. Between 2007 and 2012, Welker had five seasons of 1,000+ yards and 100+ catches.

3. Troy Brown (2000-2006)

Though struggling with injuries toward the end of his career, Brown was one of Brady’s most reliable weapons, especially in 2001, when he reached 1,200 yards receiving. Brown was also consistent for 10+ yards from scrimmage per play, which helped considerably move the chains for New England for over a decade.

2. Randy Moss (2007-2010)

1.Rob Gronkowski

Despite being a tight end, and only playing eighteen games between 2012 and 2013, The Gronk holds a Patriots franchise record in receiving touchdowns with 69 and is on pace for nearly 1,300 receiving yards in 2016. He’s also the most entertaining player in the NFL.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
