Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman just made one young quarterback's day.
Edelman surprised seventh grader Dejah Rondeau with tickets to Super Bowl LIII after the Patriots learned her story. Dejah became the starting quarterback of the Exeter Seahawks in Exeter, New Hampshire, last season after the team's starter became injured. Dejah's mother, Nicole Brock, told Seacoastonline.com that her daughter was being bullied at school for playing football.
"Some people don't want to accept a female quarterback," Brock said. "She'll have to put in 110% where others are put in 50."
The Patriots invited Dejah to Gillette Stadium, where she toured the trophy room with owner Robert Kraft.
