Intriguing competition at wide receiver for Patriots

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Perhaps the thing that stood out more than any other during the New England Patriots’ organized team activity on Tuesday was the presence of wide receiver Julian Edelman, who is coming back from a torn ACL suffered last August.

Nicknamed “The Squirrel," Edelman brings a high level of competitiveness that has been noted by his teammates.

“Having him out there brings leadership to this team. He brings excitement to this team, and he brings an aggressive nature to this team,” safety Duron Harmon said.
