It is safe to say former New England Patriots teammates Tom Brady and Julian Edelman had a connection. With three Super Bowl titles together, the duo solidified their names in the Patriots' record book and hearts of fans. Brady paid tribute to Edelman on Monday after the wide receiver officially announced his retirement from the NFL.
The source of their chemistry is a challenge to pinpoint. Maybe it's because they were both late-round underdogs. Maybe it's because two guys with California roots were just destined for greatness once they linked up in New England.
