Julian Edelman and DeSean Jackson have connected following Jackson’s anti-Semitic social media posts

Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman says he and Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson chatted Thursday evening, the same day Edelman addressed Jackson’s recent anti-Semitic social media posts.

“DeSean and I spoke for a while last night,” Edelman tweeted Friday morning. “We’re making plans to use our experiences to educate one another and grow together. Stay tuned.”

Edelman, whose father is Jewish, did not share additional details about his conversation with Jackson, nor did he specify what their plans might entail.

Earlier Thursday, Edelman proposed that he and Jackson visit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture together as a learning experience.
