- Edelman says ‘wheels has fallen off’ after serious injury
Julian Edelman announced Monday that he is retiring from the NFL after 11 seasons, citing a knee injury that cut his 2020 season short after just six games. He says he’ll leave the league after giving everything he had to the sport.
For more than a decade, Edelman lived the ultimate NFL underdog story with the New England Patriots, going from an undersized college quarterback to a favorite option of Tom Brady on three Super Bowl-winning teams.
