Ahead of returning to Gillette Stadium this Sunday to be honored at halftime of the Patriots-Saints game, Julian Edelman did a video conference with the local media Thursday afternoon.
Of course, the Week 4 game between the Patriots and Buccaneers came up and he was asked what it will be like to watch Tom Brady face his former team.
In typical Edelman fashion, he had a unique comparison.
“It’s definitely going to be weird," he said. "It’s like going to a family barbecue or like a basketball event and you’re the step kid, or you’re like the kid who has divorced parents and your mom and dad are there and you don’t know how to react. Are they going to fight? Are they not going to fight? It’s going to be interesting. But, I am excited. Who is not excited for it? It’s going to be an exciting game.”
Edelman said he will be pulling for the Patriots, but hopes Brady and Rob Gronkowski do well.
