On SiriusXM: Edelman says he worked out with Brady during off-seasons to gain his confidence

New England Patriots wide receiver and Super Bowl LIII MVP Julian Edelman stopped by SiriusXM this week and was featured in a special SiriusXM NFL Radio Town Hall hosted by SiriusXM’s Jim Miller.

Among the highlights, Edelman talked about how early in his career he decided to spend his off seasons in Southern California, where he knew Tom Brady worked out with teammates, in hopes of getting the call from his quarterback to catch passes. He spoke of the importance those sessions had in Brady developing trust and confidence in him. Watch a video of the exchange, plus his thoughts on the Patriots comeback in Super Bowl LI and his memorable fourth quarter catch:

Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport also popped in the Town Hall, asking Edelman about Super Bowl LI:

Finally, Edelman talked about his ACL injury during the 2017 preseason and the subsequent rehab, his suspension, and reconnecting with his family:
