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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
