Nicknames are an endearing remark for the fans’ favorite stars in the NFL. But their fellow stars do not shy away from handing out their version of nicknames to their teammates. Back in his rookie year, Julian Edelman was granted this luxury by Randy Moss, as he’d call him ‘Edelnut’.

A funny nickname for the former Patriots WR, one that he remembers to this day. In the latest interview with the Kelce Brothers on New Heights, Edelman would recall fond memories from the man who bossed him around.

When he was a rookie and a newcomer in the Patriots squad, Edelman would ask for tips from fellow teammates.

Edelnut disclosed that Moss boss him around and say, “Hey Edelnut get my hot tub about 103 and get my Gatorade.” The WR adds to this with, “Edelnut go get my towel my Gatorade make that hot tub about 103 102. don’t f**k it up.” The time he interrupted his chat with Mama Moss is another incident of how intimidated he felt around Randy Moss.

The former Patriots man recalls, “I was like hey Randy tell Mama Moss I said you know Merry Christmas. He goes Edelnut when I’m talking to my m***** mom you shut the f*** up…I walked away…I was so scared…but he’d always loved me up too you know.” Despite the experiences he had with the man, he respected and appreciated him as he taught him quite a few lessons about the position.

Edelman reveals WR lessons from Moss

In the same interview, Edelman talks about the lessons he learned about the position. The former WR recalls Moss’s skills with great admiration and amazement at how well he could handle the DBs coming at him. Edelman shares with the Kelce Brothers, “You could learn things from him like how he tracked the ball like like in one-on-ones. He would sit and run and it looked like he wasn’t running and the ball would come.”

The WR adds how he would trick the Defensive Backs. Edelman adds, “And we all know that the DBs Play Hands. You throw your hands out there DBs are gonna try to come through. He would just run and the ball would come right there. And he just bxoop and just pop his little hands out at the last second.” 

Although the WR didn’t stamp his name on the Patriots like Brady and Belichick during his time, the skills he learned from those before him helped him carve out a decent decade with the franchise ending with 3 Super Bowls.
