Best Of Social Media: The Patriots Honor Julian Edelman
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports
For the first time since January 2020, “the squirrel” aka Julian Edelman was back in front of the Foxboro faithful this past Sunday.
Edelman, who retired this spring, played his final NFL home games in front of no fans at Gillette Stadium last season so the Patriots elected to give him the proper send-off this year with a special halftime ceremony in front of a full house.
Take a look at all the best sights and sounds from Edelman’s day shared over social media below.
