Edelman retires

Michelangelo · Apr 12, 2021

Best and toughest slot receiver in the history of the game. And he was drafted as a college QB.

Thanks, Jules for giving us Pats fans and the rest of football your fearless all on every play. You will always be seared in my memory.

[FONT=&quot]"By any measure of what constitutes an elite NFL career -- wins, championships, production Julian has it all," Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said in a statement, [/FONT]via ESPN's Adam Schefter[FONT=&quot]. "Few players can match Julian's achievements, period, but considering his professional trajectory and longevity, the group is even more select. It is historic. This is a tribute to his legendary competitiveness, mental and physical toughness and will to excel. … Julian Edelman is the ultimate competitor and it was a privilege to coach him." [/FONT]

My last man crush is moving on. Well, the last man crush I have on a player anyhow.

He could change his mind if he gets a call from Tom and Gronk to join up in Tampa.

Not likely. He's genuinely beat up. He left his body on the field. Toughest guy in the toughest position in sports, the true slot receiver who fearlessly plied his trade in the short to medium part of the field with assassins waiting to take punishing shots at him on every play.

I think you're right but he was cut and released by the Pats initially which led him to retirement. But with a few months off and if the Bucs need a WR due to injury he could reconsider with a little prodding from his buddies.

I'd be happy to see him play again with his old Team Destroyers, Brady, Gronk, and Jules. What an offensive trio.

Hell of a football player. Was very versatile.

And he owns the greatest catch ever in a super bowl game. Way better than Tyree’s.

IF it happens Tompa Bay visits New England this year an extremely hot ticket becomes a little hotter.

The Tyree catch combined with Eli avoiding the sack and scrambling out of it is what makes that one of the greatest plays ever.

without PEDs he never would've made it to season 2

It is a good question but I lean the other way. Not sure his stats warrant it.

But the kid played with a ton of heart, and the big moments he had with the Patriots will put him in the Foxboro HOF.

He will wind up with TB, probably in a lesser role, he will not be able to say "no" unless he has life altering injury risk.
