The pressure’s on for Julian Edelman. Fortunately, as Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice knows, the Patriots wide receiver thrives in those situations.
Rice, the former San Francisco 49er widely acknowledged as the greatest receiver in NFL history, praised Edelman for his competitiveness and ability.
“He’s got that attitude,” Rice told The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, “That ‘f*** you’ attitude: ‘I’m going to do what I want to do, and I’m going to go out and I’m going to ball. I’m going to make catches. I’m going to score touchdowns. I’m going to do whatever I have to do to help my team win.
