Despite the recent call for a reunion in Tampa from old teammate Rob Gronkowski and an April Fools joke. Edelman has held firm that his football playing days are over.

In fact, Edelman’s second career working in sports media is off to a very successful start as a panelist on Showtime’s “Inside The NFL”.

On April 6th Edelman was named a nominee for a 2022 Sports Emmy Award in the “emerging sports talent” category.
