7. Tom Brady’s BFF

Julian Edelman was once again there when Tom Brady needed him. There were numerous 3rd downs that were saved by Edelman.

I don’t know what it is about Edelman, but the guy sure can take a hit. He is able to hold on to some balls where he gets absolutely rocked.

Edelman had a great night in Kansas City. He had 7 catches for 96 yards.

It is clear that Tom Brady trusts Julian Edelman to make any catch. He may have let a ball go through his fingers for an interception but I don’t expect Tom Brady to give Edelman the cold shoulder in the Super Bowl.

So now it is that wonderful time of the year. We get to watch our favorite football team play in yet another Super Bowl.
