JULIAN EDELMAN BIO

Julian Edelman, one of the most decorated wide receivers in NFL history, is entering his third season as an NFL analyst on FOX NFL KICKOFF. He joined FOX Sports prior to the 2023-24 season, bringing his extensive experience and insights to the broadcast team.

A three-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl LVIII MVP, Edelman was a key member of the New England Patriots dynasty. He transitioned from a return specialist to a primary starter, becoming known for his exceptional performances in crucial moments. Edelman is celebrated as one of the greatest postseason performers in professional football history, ranking third in postseason yards and receptions, and holding Super Bowl records for punt returns and first-half receptions in a single game.

Edelman, renowned for his fierce competitive spirit, showcased his talents as a quarterback at both the College of San Mateo and Kent State University. He concluded his collegiate career with impressive stats, amassing 4,997 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Selected by the Patriots in the seventh round of the 2009 NFL Draft, Julian Edelman enjoyed an impressive 11-season career. He accumulated 620 receptions for 6,822 receiving yards and 36 touchdowns, with an average of 11.0 yards per catch. His outstanding contributions earned him a place on both the Patriots All-2010s Team and the Patriots All-Dynasty Team. Edelman is set to be inducted as the 37th entry into the Patriots Hall of Fame, further cementing his legacy with the franchise.

After retiring from the NFL, Edelman joined "Inside the NFL" as an analyst on Paramount+. His insightful contributions during his first season on the program earned him a nomination for a Sports Emmy in 2022.

Edelman has penned several books, including "Flying High," which tells the story of a squirrel named Jules who learns to overcome his physical limitations through hard work, and his memoir "Relentless." 

Beyond writing, Edelman has ventured into entrepreneurship by co-founding Nuthouse Sports, an athlete driven production company. Under Nuthouse he has launched two podcasts: Games with Names, a sports history podcast on the search for the "greatest game of all time", and Dudes on Dudes, a look inside the professional locker room, alongside business partner, former Patriots teammate and current FOX Sports colleague Rob Gronkowski.
