Eric Gutierrez = Wes Welker.
Neither was recruited much at all out of high school -- the only other school in on Gutierrez was UT-Pan American and they just offered him a preferred walk-on spot. Neither will impress you with measurables. Welker didn't project as a future professional football player, and I'm guessing Gute won't have his name called very high later this week in the MLB Draft. Yet both killed it on the field for Texas Tech and played critical roles during transformative periods for their respective athletics programs.
