Malik Cunningham looking to follow in Julian Edelman’s footsteps as former QB turned receiver

FOXBOROUGH — Malik Cunningham has his work cut out for him this training camp.

A standout quarterback during his time at Louisville, Cunningham signed with the Patriots as an undrafted rookie this offseason in hopes of carving out a role as a wide receiver on New England’s depth chart.

It’s one thing to try to earn a spot in the NFL at your tried-and-true position, especially one as refined as quarterback. But it’s another endeavor entirely to learn a new position while lining up against pro competition.

Thankfully, Cunningham doesn’t have to search very far for help when it comes to his career trajectory.
