Patriots’ Julian Edelman Believes These Two Events Forced His Retirement

Related Topics: Patriots, Julian Edelman

Julian Edelman developed into a consistent target at wide receiver and won three Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots.

His production continued deep into his NFL career with another 1,000-yard season in 2019. Just weeks after setting a single-game career-high in receiving yards in Week 2 of the 2020 season, Edelman’s career came to a disappointing end.

He suited up for the final time with the Patriots in Week 7 when the San Francisco 49ers dominated New England 33-6 at Gillette Stadium. Little did he know that would be the curtain call (without any fans in the stands) for his NFL career.
