All-Pro wide receiver Wes Welker can speak to the rise of the ‘stache. He was asked in the Patriots locker room on Thursday what was growing on his upper lip. “That’s mustache,” Welker explained, according to the Boston Herald. “I think some people have come up with names, but I don’t know. We haven’t come up with one yet. It seems to give you power, especially late in the season. So, I’ve been feeling it this week, and hopefully it carries through to Saturday.”
