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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
