There’s no denying the fact that he’s been one of the most dominant receivers in the league over the last five seasons, but considering history and the tendencies of the voters, a signature postseason moment (as well as a chance to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy) would provide Welker with the sort of definitive final line of his resume that could ensure he makes the Hall.

Welker’s post-season numbers: 53 catches for 438 yards and three touchdowns. But let’s throw out the 27 catches for 213 yards in 2007. That leaves 2010, when he sat the opening series due to the feet comments directed toward Rex, and then last season where the missed catch that might’ve sealed another Lombardi still haunts us all. Welker really does need a signature playoff run and given the frustrating post-seasons he’s had, including 2009 where he was hurt against the Texans in Week 17 and missed the rest of the season, this could be one of his last chances to really define his career with a Super Bowl title.
