New England Patriots legend Julian Edelman had a reputation for being one of the toughest players to ever strap on a helmet. He played until the wheels fell off, putting his body, heart and soul on the line every time he stepped out on the field.
And one day, that's exactly what happened to the three-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl LIII MVP. The wheels fell off.
Edelman suffered a knee injury that ended his 2020 season prematurely. What initially seemed like a regular season setback ultimately turned into a career-killer for Edelman, who never played another snap of football again.
