Julian Edelman was named the 37th inductee to the Patriots Hall of Fame, the team announced Monday.
The former wide receiver will become the 10th player to be voted into the Hall as a three-time Super Bowl champion in a Patriots uniform.
“Julian Edelman is one of the great success stories in our franchise’s history,” said chairman and CEO Robert Kraft in a statement. “There aren’t many players who earn an NFL roster spot at a position they have never played before. Julian not only did that as a seventh-round draft selection, but he finished his career with the second-most receptions in franchise history and as a three-time Super Bowl Champion, including his last as Super Bowl MVP.
