Julian Edelman sets record straight on Patriots rookie WR Efton Chism

There have been many rushing to compare New England Patriots undrafted rookie Efton Chism III to Julian Edelman. However, the former legendary Patriots wide receiver believes a better comparison for Chism would be to Danny Amendola.

The Patriots have a long history of churning out talented slot receivers, and along with Demario Douglas, Chism looks like he might be the next in line to take that mantle. He's a tremendous route runner with the quickness and technique to consistently separate from defenders.

“I think he reminds me more of Dola [Danny Amendola] than he does me," Edelman said on Patriots Talk Podcast.
