It’s safe to say that former New England Patriots teammates, Tom Brady and Julian Edelman, had a connection. With three Super Bowl titles put together, the duo solidified their name in the record books and the hearts of fans of the New England Patriots. Brady paid tribute to Edelman who officially announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday.
The source of their chemistry is a challenge to pinpoint. Maybe it’s because they were both late underdogs. Maybe it’s because two guys with California roots were simply destined for greatness once they joined in New England. Brady would complete 571 passes for Edelman, more than any other receiver in his career. Regardless of the reason, the football world was lucky enough to witness a very special bond between the two.
Brady acknowledged Edelman’s impact on his career in a lengthy social media post.
“I’m at the top of the list because when I was down and felt sorry for myself at times, you were there to pick me up. You were as hard as you could and I love you for everything you did to make our teams so good. big as they can be. “
