If the life of Julian Edelman was made into a movie, actor and avid New England Patriots fan Mark Wahlberg would be perfect for the role.
Not only do they have a slight resemblance, but the native Bostonian is some passionate about his football team that he would play the role with the same tenacity and passion that Edelman displays on the football field.
Not to take anything away from Chris Evans, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as hometown fans, but man Wahlberg has basically become the human mascot for the organization.
