New England Patriots: 3 bold predictions for Julian Edelman in 2019
Will secure himself as a Boston sports icon
Whether it’s at Fenway Park, a Boston Bruins game or kicking it with Boston Celtics players, Julian Edelman has become more than just a New England Patriots star, he has become a Boston Sports icon.
Following his performance in last year’s playoff run, Edelman secured himself as one of the most clutch players to have ever played in the city. That is saying a lot for a city known for championships and sports figures like Larry Bird, Bobby Orr, David Ortiz and Tom Brady.
Beyond what he can do on the field, Julian Edelman’s biggest contribution in 2019 won’t be the clutch third down passes or key touchdowns, it will be the influence he has on players like N’Keal Harry and Braxton Berrios if he were to make the team.
He will not only lead by example, he will be the motivational factor behind young players stepping up in big moments.
