Former New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> wide receiver Julian Edelman put together one of the most productive careers at the position during his 11 pro seasons in Foxborough. Over that span, Edelman logged 6,822 receiving yards (fourth in Patriots history) with 620 receptions (second in Patriots history) and 36 touchdowns in the regular season.<\/p>\n

However, it was in the playoffs where Edelman shined the most. In 19 career playoff games, Edelman caught 118 passes for 1,442 yards, ranking second only to Hall of Famer Jerry Rice in career postseason totals for both categories and helped the Patriots win three Super Bowls.<\/p>\n

So needless to say, Edelman’s resume speaks for itself and a spot in the Patriots Hall of Fame is all but a forgone conclusion.<\/p>\n

However, because we live in a world where sports takes are always flying, especially on social media, one reporter in Chicago felt the need to diminish Edelman’s success, whether by accident or to get attention when he tweeted out that current Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp “is the wide receiver y\u2019all kept trying to convince us Julian Edelman was”.<\/p>\n
