FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One has to wake up pretty early in the morning to beat New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman to the stadium on game day.
This past Saturday, for example, he was the first player to arrive for a 1 p.m. ET game against the New York Jets. The clock read 7:40 a.m. when Edelman walked to the locker room.
