I think the discrepancy in stats is too much for him to be compared to Ward. Ward played for 2 more seasons than Edelman, but has almost double his yards (6800 vs 12000) and more than double his touchdowns (36 vs 85).

Deion Branch really is the best comparison for Edelman.

Branch: 11 seasons, 518 receptions, 6644 yards, 39 touchdowns. Postseason: 17 games, 64 receptions, 948 yards, 4 touchdowns. 2x SB, 1x SB MVP

Edelman: 12 seasons, 620 receptions, 6822 yards, 36 touchdowns. Postseason: 19 games, 118 receptions, 1442 yards, 5 touchdowns. 3x SB, 1x SB MVP

 

Wes Welker:  12 seasons, 903 receptions, 9,924 yards, 50 TDs:  Postseason:  13 games,  88 receptions, 866 yards, 5 TDs:  5 pro bowls, 2-time 1st team all NFL

45%  more yards than Edelman, same 12 year career. Wes Welker, a former Patriot, does not have a chance at HoF, either.
