Patriots Wide Receiver Julian Edelman Retires After 12 Seasons


New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, a three time Super Bowl champion and the MVP of Super Bowl LIII, has retired after 12 seasons in the NFL - all with the Pats. Edelman announced his retirement on social media with a four minute video which I have posted above.

Curiously, Edelman, who turns 35 next month, never made a Pro Bowl appearance. Somehow I think three Super Bowl rings will keep him satiated.

In recent years, Edelman has identified as Jewish and has made a point of reaching out to professional athletes who have made anti-Semitic remarks such as Los Angeles Rams wide receiver DeSean Jackson (then a member of the Philadelphia Eagles) and former Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard

Both on and off the field, Julian Edelman was quite the catch.
