FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman wasn’t looking so undersized in the locker room Tuesday.
The media was greeted by someone sitting at Edelman’s locker who looked a lot like the wide receiver but was about five inches taller and 70 pounds heavier with a full sleeve of tattoos.
At closer inspection, it was defensive end Chris Long in an eerily realistic Edelman mask.
As you can see in the video below, Long took the opportunity to answer some questions as Edelman until the real deal came along.
