Throughout my tenure writing for Pats Pulpit, I have, on select few occasions, found myself compelled to dedicate a long, sappy, overly sentimental article to a player on the day he finally decides to hang them up for good. Vince Wilfork, Tedy Bruschi, and Kevin Faulk immediately come to mind — heart and soul type guys, fan favorites who helped bring the team multiple championships and fully entrenched themselves as one of the ultimate leaders of the franchise. Players that came up through the New England Patriots system, signed multiple contracts with the team, and absolutely dominated at their position.
Thank you, Julian Edelman!
