Former Super Bowl MVP-winning wide receiver Julian Edelman recently showed his funny bone to NFL fans with a Tom Brady meme. And obviously, as everyone else in the world, the former Patriots wideout used the Will Smith-Chris Rock Oscars meme.

Edelman, who played with the New England Patriots for 12 seasons, did showcase his prowess on the football field. But it seems he has made strides in the social media meme game, and his attempt was funny. It was an instant classic meme, which portrayed Brady as actor Will Smith and his retirement as comedian Chris Rock.

The 94th Academy Awards incident has been trending everywhere on social media. The comedian Chris Rock while presenting an award, offended Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, which led to Mr. Smith storming and slapping Rock. As with anything else, Twitter instantly turned it into a meme, and Edelman did share his masterpiece with NFL fans.

A Patriots reunion in Tampa Bay for Julian Edelman?

Being Brady’s former teammate, Edelman was seen with the Buccaneers QB catching some footballs in a post on social media. While Brady’s comeback was surprising, Edelman showed he still has the skills to pay the bills. Edelman teased the NFL fans about a reunion with his tweet on social media, prompting former teammates in TE Rob Gronkowski and Matthew Judon to cheer him.

Bit the former Patriots receiver has always been a one-team man. He cleared it whenever a potential reunion in Tampa Bay came up. Apart from his loyalties, he has been nursing knee issues throughout his career, which made him content with leaving the game. While all signs point toward this being a one-time thing, Brady’s grin at the end of the video gives some fans hope. In any case, Brady has enough rings with Edelman, and enough firepower in Tampa Bay to go for another one.
