Julian Edelman: Jon Gruden’s comments ‘just not acceptable’

Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is no stranger to having tough conversations with people who aren’t the most open-minded.

He’s even notably reached out to athletes like DeSean Jackson and Meyers Leonard — both of whom made publicly anti-Semitic comments — to create a constructive dialogue based on learning and understanding one another.

But as far as now-ex-Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden goes, Edelman doesn’t think there’s much else that needs to be said.

The Patriots legend denounced recently uncovered emails Gruden sent to league executives and other figures containing homophobic, racist and sexist language while on “Inside The NFL” on Paramount+.
