Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman knew when it was time to hang up the cleats.
The 2020 season, his final one, was a rocky one. He was hampered by injuries and played in just six games that season. By the end, he tallied 21 catches for 315 yards after only starting in one game. The former Super Bowl hero retired just before the 2021 NFL draft, as the Patriots were looking to go in a new direction at quarterback.
