Julian Edelman said he ‘can understand’ Martellus Bennett’s criticism of Jimmy Garoppolo

As part of Julian Edelman ‘s wide-ranging discussion on a recently released episode of the “I Am Athlete” podcast, the former Patriot was asked for his take on some pointed comments about Jimmy Garoppolo.

The comments were made by another former Patriot, Martellus Bennett, during a 2021 interview on “Double Coverage with The McCourty Twins.” In the course of the discussion, Bennett opened up about Garoppolo’s short run as New England’s starter during the 2016 season (when Tom Brady was suspended for the first four games).

“We lost two games,” Bennett recalled of that season.
