After 11 accomplished seasons - all for the Patriots - receiver Julian Edelman has officially retired from the NFL. Having to undergo knee surgery halfway through the 2020 campaign, the 34-year old was unable to return despite having the designation to do so last December. This ultimately led to Edelman's announcement Monday afternoon, in a video posted to his personal social media channels shortly after New England terminated his contract for a failed physical.
The former quarterback convert out of Kent State is leaving quite the legacy behind. He was a three-time Super Bowl champion and the MVP of the Patriots' 13-3 victory over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
