What Julian Edelman said about his candidacy for Hall of Fame

Patriots

Julian Edelman was probably the most popular patriots of all time in 2021.

The stubborn receiver played a key role within the last three super bowls in New England. He served as Tom Brady's most reliable short-internal recipient and made several critical games on the very best stage in football.

But even with three Super Bowl titles, a Super Bowl -MVP and 620 profession receptions for his résumé, Edelman's case for Canton stays cloudy.

Edelman was one in every of the largest post-season actors in NFL history, because the Patriots Wideout currently takes third place at reception after the season (118) and the reception of yards (1,442).

He had his fingerprints over the past three Super Bowl victories of New England-Taumated the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLIX against the Seahawk MVP ceremonies in Super Bowl Liii against the Rams after 10 catches for 141 yards.

But while he was a trustworthy recipient for Brady during his prolonged term in Neugin, Edelman's regular season statistics don’t jump off the side, at the least in comparison with another Hall of Fame Wideouts.

Add the indisputable fact that as a Pro-Bowler he has neither deserved a nod-and he also didn’t make a all-project team-and Edelman could search within the Hall of Fame on the surface.

But Edelman spoke about “The Dan Patrick Show” this week and emphasized that he was not anxious about his canton registration information, neither is he planning to perform any form of campaign for entry to the Hall of Fame.

“I'm not a activist” Edelman said Patrick. “It wasn't my goal in life to do the Hall of Fame. My goal of life was to exit and to boost a Lombardi trophy. I had to do that thrice and played my best football games in these games.

So that's just about where I stand with the entire stuff. I is not going to sit here and campaigns, attempt to get into the Hall of Fame. I feel that's lame. “

For Edelman there are more important things that you have to concentrate on than the Hall of Fame-Er also does not regret how his 12-year-old run played with the patriots.

“When I start, I get in,” said Edelman. “If I don't do it, I actually have a pleasant eight-year-old daughter and have three trophies with whom I will probably be satisfied for the remainder of my life-four because I got the MVP of the last one.”
