Julian Edelman isn’t planning on a return to the NFL after retiring in 2021. If he did, however, it wouldn’t necessarily be to team up with Tom Brady.
The 36-year-old wideout and former Super Bowl MVP sat out last fall after an injury-marred end to a 12-season run with the New England Patriots. He told former NFL Pro Bowlers Brandon Marshall and Adam “Pacman” Jones that his knee has healed up in an interview for the I AM ATHLETE podcast. Even so, he isn’t planning on following Rob Gronkowski’s footsteps to unretire and meet up with former quarterback Tom Brady in Tampa.
“If I were to ever come back,” Edelman told I AM ATHLETE, “I would wanna come back as a Pat[riot], probably.”
