FOX Sports NFL expert Julian Edelman discovers himself in unknown area this 2023 season.
Edelman still roots for the New England Patriots, with whom he invested his whole NFL profession (most of which came togetherwith NFL on FOX colleagues Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady). But even the three-time Super Bowl champ confesses that Patriots fans oughtto mostlikely toss in the towel on this season and appearance towards the 2024 NFL Draft.
“The Patriots are going to mostlikely go out there and play their tails off,” Edelman stated on “FOX NFL Kickoff.” “[But] if they go out and win, it’s mostlikely a loss since right now there are a lot of holes in that group that requirement to be filled — and there’s a lot of hole-fillers in this draft.”
The Patriots played the New York Giants on Sunday, with the winning group dropping a secret area in a 2024 draft that, as Edelman’s “FOX NFL Kickoff” coworker Michael Vick pointed out, will mostlikely be filled with top quarterbacks. That might permit the Patriots to offer with one of the primary problems on their lineup as Mac Jones has hadahardtime strongly throughout the 2023 season.
Edelman lateron doubled down on his take that his old group would lose more by winning Sunday, stimulating one of his previous head coach Bill Belichick’s well-known pricesquote by stating the Patriots oughtto be “On to 2024.”
The Super Bowl LII MVP confessed it’s a brand-new position for him to take.
“I wear’t understand what to state,” Edelman stated. “I’ve neverever been in this scenario.”
Edelman did get his dream. The Patriots lost 10-7 as kicker Chad Ryland missedouton a possible game-tying field objective as time ended.
