Julian Edelman recounts when he was Tom Brady's 'gopher'

Tom Brady had Julian Edelman at “hello,” and the New England Patriots receiver wasn’t going to stop pursuing his quarterback until a full-fledged bromance was formed.

Edelman recounted meeting Brady for the first time to ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap on “E:60,” which aired Tuesday at 8 p.m.

“I’m walking with my big ol’ playbook, and he walks through the door, and he goes, ‘Hey, I’m Tom,’ and I drop my playbook,” Edelman said. “And I’m like ‘Oh. Nice to meet you, Tom. Julian.’ All nervous.

“We sat next to each other in the locker room, and I kind of did anything for him.
