Wide receiver Julian Edelman has one idea for how the Patriots can fill the void left by newly retired tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Ahead of the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, which begins Thursday at 8 p.m., Edelman playfully pitched Duke college basketball standout Zion Williamson on joining the Super Bowl champions in New England.
“Hey [Zion],” he tweeted Wednesday afternoon, with a photoshopped image of Williamson alongside owner Robert Kraft and club president Jonathan Kraft. “We’ve got an opening at TE for ya bud. Just sayin.”
Hey @ZionW32 we’ve got an opening at TE for ya bud.
