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.

Julian Edelman, with daughter Lily in his arms: “You guys, the fans, have taken me and my family and you brought us into your homes. And you welcomed us. And we lived you guys, breathed you guys, and we’ll always die you guys. I love you guys. Foxborough forever.” pic.twitter.com/VEnT0lOgoL
