The NFL films produce documentaries named A Football Life which focuses on an iconic player. The latest in line is Julian Edelman, and the production house is teasing clips of the episodes on Twitter. One of the latest videos showcases Edelman’s mimicry skills while recalling his first interaction with Bill Belichick.

 

Julian Edelman mentioned, “My first interaction with Bill [Belichick], I was catching punts, and I was nervous catching punts. I never really caught punts. You know, I may have muffed or double caught a punt, and Bill comes over, and he’s whipping his whistle. Hey Jules, come here. You know, if the ball doesn’t turn over, it’s gonna go short and right on the right foot of the punter. If it turns over, it’s gonna go left and long. Read the punt. You catch the punt with your feet, not your hands. That’s what he said; that was our first interaction. It was love at first sight.”

The former Patriots receiver is getting his episode in the documentary series. The trailer featured Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski stacking praise over the former WR.

Julian Edelman established a career and a legacy alongside the Patriots. However, there are frustrating times that could lead to altering decisions. It was a pivotal stage during the 2013 free agency when the franchise let Wes Welker go into free agency. Instead of giving Minitron a new deal, the franchise signed Danny Amendola to a five-year contract.

It outraged the slot receiver when Belichick chose Amendola over Welker, and he was on the verge of leaving the team. He then visited New York to the Giants’ training facility, and they offered him a deal. But Tom Brady was able to convince him, and the rest is history.
