Julian Edelman has always been important to the success of the Patriots, but without Tom Brady in 2020 he becomes even more vital.
“Isn’t his role more important this year, though?," NFL Media's Peter Schrager said on Good Morning Football. "Because you look around, it is no longer Brady. There’s no longer Kyle Van Noy. And you look in that room, is he one of those veteran leaders? It’s him, Devin McCourty and bunch of other talented guys who are looking around and saying, ‘Guys, we’re not so bad still.’ I look at Edelman and he’s a leader now because he’s always been Brady’s wing man.
