“I Guarantee I Can Get Open”: Patriots Legend Teases Highly-Awaited Comeback After Thanksgiving With a Subtle Warning

The Patriots legend teases comeback 

Julian Edelman established himself as a legendary wide receiver in the Patriots dynasty under head coach Bill Belichick. With players like Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola around him and Tom Brady orchestrating the plays, Edelman won a flurry of titles. Edelman stepped away from the game before the start of the 2021 season, but fans have repeatedly urged him to make a comeback.

And he hinted at just that in the new teaser of ‘Julian Edelman- A Football Life”, a documentary based on his life. The teaser started with a question about his dream of playing football again. Edelman asks the crew behind the camera about the airing date of the documentary. After confirming that, he hints at a comeback with a subtle warning.

“I don’t know,” the legendary WR said. “But there are about 12 plays a game. I guarantee that I can get open and catch a ball right now. Because we all know that the football season starts after Thanksgiving,” the Patriots legend added.

The fans are waiting for Julian, and eagerly so.
