Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman shared a memorable story about meeting 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan during Week 6's Fox NFL Kickoff pregame show. During a segment in which the panelists each named the coach doing the best job thus far, Edelman highlighted Shanahan.
Good choice, right? The 49ers might be the best team in football. But Edelman recounted the coach's love for football with an unusual anecdote. The 11-year pro couldn't play with the Patriots in Super Bowl LII due to a torn ACL but was at the game as a spectator.
While using the bathroom, someone approached Edelman and wanted to talk about a whip route he ran in the previous year's Super Bowl. As Edelman recounts, he was in a compromising position at the urinal and couldn't believe that this person wanted to talk football at that moment.
