For the first time in his career, Julian Edelman is entering a season without Tom Brady.
As the receiver prepares for his 11th NFL season, everyone knows the story of Edelman and Brady. When he was a young player, Edelman was so enamored with the veteran quarterback, he moved out to California with the hope of training with Brady in the offseason. It took Edelman five years, but he became one of Brady’s go-to targets and best friends.
It’ll be hard to create a Brady-like connection with whoever starts at quarterback this season for the Patriots, but Edelman is moving forward with an open mind.
