It seems like Julian Edelman is going to try and extend his decorated NFL career by at least another season. But it wasn’t too long ago that the rest of his playing days flashed before his eyes.
Certainly over the hill of his prime following two Super Bowl championships, the Patriots wideout tore his ACL and had to sit out for the entirety of New England’s campaign to claim Super Bowl LII. On top of that, the then 32-year-old had to delay his return after getting a suspension for performance-enhancing substances.
Edelman got vulnerable talking about this period of time, describing it as his darkest days professionally while hosting a discussion about his recent drop of non-fungible token artwork on the Clubhouse app.
