    Edelman was never viewed as the most physically gifted athlete, even in high school, where most future NFL players are notably different in size. In fact, Edelman wasn’t even 5 feet tall and weighed less than 100 pounds when he entered high school in Woodside, California. “When I turned 13, that’s when guys’ voices started to get a little lower and...

    Edelman remained at quarterback during his time at Kent State, but his 5-foot-10 frame made it tough for teams to see him as a future NFL quarterback. Bill Belichick didn’t see any quarterback talent when he initially scouted Edelman, either. But he saw some other things Edelman could do. “He couldn’t throw the ball but he was hard to tackle and ve...

    As a seventh-round pick with no defined position, Edelman knew he was going to have to try out playing several different positions to help better his chances at making the roster. One of those positions was as a punt returner, where Edelman had never played before. On his first day of rookie minicamp, he got into trouble with Belichick when returni...

    Edelman wanted to find a way to get reps with the starts on offense, but as someone that was still learning to play receiver, he struggled to get on the field much in that regard. Brady recalled that Edelman was talented with the ball in his hands in the first few seasons of his career. The one struggle he had was getting the ball to Edelman. So, E...

    Edelman’s chances of remaining and playing a big role with the Patriots seemed to dim with each passing day in his early seasons in New England. After recording 37 receptions as a rookie, he caught just 32 total passes in the net three season. “Julian Edelman was probably almost cut more often than any player I’ve ever coached,” former Patriots rec...

    When Welker departed for the Denver Broncos in the 2013 offseason, Edelman thought he was finally going to get his chance to start at slot receiver. However, the Patriots signed Amendola to a five-year deal to replace Welker. That upset Edelman. “I was hurt,” Edelman said. “I did everything [Belichick] said, gave four years of my life, and then [th...

    In the documentary, Edelman shared that his father, Frank, is Jewish but the early passing of his grandfather led Frank to be raised as Catholic growing up. As Edelman’s NFL career progress though, he and his father began to embrace Judiasm more and more. In 2015, he met Rabbi Bill Hamilton and he and his father began to have weekly sessions with h...

    Edelman tore his ACL during the preseason in 2017, ending that year before it really even began. He progressed well enough though over the next year and was ready to hit the ground running in 2018, until he was suspended for the first four games of that season due to testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Edelman said that it felt like t...

    Edelman’s final season was his worst since the years he struggled to get on the field. He played just six games in 2020, recording 39 receptions for 315 yards. “It was a mess. Not fun to watch,” Edelman’s mother, Angie, said. As Edelman dealt with a lingering knee injury that season, he had a good feeling it was time to call it a career. “I knew it...

    Despite the injury struggles in his final season, Edelman didn’t rule out a possible return at the end of the documentary. “When’s this thing airing? This November? I’m going to have to go part two on this bad – nah, I don’t know,” Edelman said. “But there’s about 12 plays a game I guarantee I can get open and catch a ball right now, because we all...
