In middle school, high school and college, Branch was often told he was too short at just 5'9" to be an NFL receiver, and due to this, he dropped from a sure first-round pick to a humble second-round pick. But after picking defensive end Ty Warren in the first round, the Pats apparently saw something special in him. And he did not disappoint, becoming quarterback Tom Brady's primary target and leading the team to two straight Super Bowls.
