Julian Edelman defines ‘The Patriot Way’

The Patriot Way; there’s no correct answer or definition for it, but its along the lines of showing up on time, doing your job, putting the team before yourself and just carrying yourself in a positive manner.

Julian Edelman embodies what it means to be a Patriot and follow “The Patriot Way.”

However, it never came easy for him.

You know the story: No scholarship offers out of High School, went to JUCO, played quarterback at Kent State, wasn’t invited to the combine, drafted in the seventh round, never played receiver or special teams until the NFL all the way to a three time Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP and Tom Brady’s go-to guy and best friend.
