Tom Brady was mic’d up during a game a few weeks ago and might have got a little carried away when he called Julian Edelman the best punt returner of all time. While Edelman might not be the best of all time, he’s certainly making a case to be one of the NFL’s best in today’s game.
Edelman’s punt return skills were on display again Sunday afternoon as the New England Patriots hosted the Detroit Lions. The Patriots wideout appeared to have yet another return score in the third quarter, and it was a highlight-reel TDÂ with plenty of incredible jukes.
The bad news for Edelman and the Patriots, of course, is that the score was called back for a block in the back. That fact doesn’t take away from how insanely athletic that play really was, though.
