Both performances and his SB LIII performance is why he's prob the most clutch WR of all time postseason wise

Tough son of a. . .
Jules really had all the key plays in the Patriots second dynasty. His pass against the Ravens in 2014 to Amendola was a back breaker kind of play. His huge catch on 3rd and 15 when he got drilled helmet to helmet and still held onto the ball against the Seahawks. Not to mention catching the game winning pass. Then the miracle catch against the Falcons, and many other key catches in that game. Then two years later he wins MVP of the Super Bowl against the Rams. Not bad for a 7th round pick

Not just for a 7th rounder. That’s better than the majority of guys who get drafted all together. Plus you get to be known as the GOAT’s favorite/ most trustworthy/ clutch WR AND you have the respect of BB. Who was just throwing you out on the field in whatever spots he could put you in because he believed in you as a football player. If he doesn’t make the hall of fame I’ll understand but if he does, I would completely understand why. Jules and his dedication and desire to be great is what set us apart in the second half of Brady’s career and if I had to put money on it. I would bet my life savings that Jules makes the catch that welker didn’t in that SB!

Edelman in the playoffs is crazy, I’ll never forget my Rams against the patriots when Edelman who had a mediocre season absolutely tore up our defense and won them the game
I hope people get him into the HOF. Man is clutch
1:09 I can't believe he got BAM by KAM and still intact, alive and still running !!
that hit from chancellor was insane, but even more insane was that Julian kept going(even though the knee was down unfortunately)

Watching patriots from Boston since 1965 with my dad, this guy is so underrated, great hands, as tough as nails, clutch after clutch, without his contribution, I don't know how they win some of those games. Ultimate competitor
Super bowl 49 was the most nerve racking game I’ve ever watched
Those of us from NE who watched Jules play every Sunday knew exactly who he was. A quick, tough, fast, clutch, and heavily underrated bad mama jamma!!
As far as I am concerned his performance against the Rams in the Super Bowl was the best. He didn't score, but he had so many third and long catches that frustrated the Rams defense. It was a time of possession game 13-3. Hard to believe they didn't include that.
I would take Edelman in the playoffs over alot of guys. He saved his best for the biggest stage! If Edelman had stayed healthy his entire career there's no doubt in my mind that he'd eventually make the Hall of Fame. If he plays in all 16 games from 2013-2019 he could've had 7 straight 1,000 yard seasons. 2017 He missed the whole season. They would've won that Superbowl vs Philly if Edelman is there. I know Brady threw for a record amount of yards, but having Edelman puts them over the top. In 2015 he was having a career year but was being overused through 8 games he was on pace for 121 rec, 1,358 yards 15 TD, but got injured in the 9th game & missed the final 7 games at the end of the 2015 season after NE started 10-0, they finished 3-4 without him, which cost the Pats home field for the playoffs, which cost them the AFC championship in Denver. They win that game in Foxboro. And they would've beat the Panthers. So if Edelman finishes his career with 4 or 5 rings then he essily gets in the HOF. He still has a shot because he was a big part of the 3 rings he won. But the regular season stats hurt his case. He should've made the Pro Bowl in 2019 over the Broncos WR Sutton.
Him and Brady had a connection on the field that's almost impossible to replicate. Like Rodgers and Adams, Kelce and Mahomes etc.. They could just make eye contact pre snap and be on the same page.
To this day I 100% know that the Pats would've beaten the Eagles in SB52 if he wasn't injured that year.

Maybe
He put his life and brain on the line to complete the dynasty. There’s no doubt in my mind he was concussed against the Seahawks.
Man that hit from Kam was truly a throwback and Jules still got up and gave more
that Kam hit had him like Bambi for a second 😂
He didn’t just win in the NFL. This man won at life.
How on earth did he not get knocked out on that Kam hit across the middle.
There are great catches of all time and then there's the Edelman catch. Nothing will surpass that catch Jules made and given the circumstances coming back from a 25-point deficit in the Super Bowl to win, that is a mic drop because all hail in comparison to the Edelman catch. Past, current, and future great catches will never top Edelman's catch.

Miss the hell outta watching Jules play! He’s become one of my top heroes in my life journey.
I was fortunate enough to be at LI… Holy Hell what an experience!!
That special moment with his dad after winning the SB was a win for all of us dads too. We all know how it is when we’ve been training and prepping our kids from childhood to the big stage, only to say “I love you Mom!” on national TV🤣
Soo good!
Loved to watch him compete. I remember watching him catch 2 touchdowns late in the loss to the ravens in the playoffs and I thought to myself that’s gunna be our next slot receiver. His relentlessness was on display for sure in that game and you could tell he had “it”. As patriots fan of course I think he deserves the hall of fame nod. But I’m not sure he’ll get it.
That catch against the Falcons is the greatest catch in SB history.
That was the greatest catch in Super Bowl history I don’t care what anybody says. Only Julian Edelman could’ve made that catch against Atlanta.

Edelman got heart and that's what Brady need
Wouldn’t have had the greatest SB comeback of all time, without Edelnut
7th round draft choice and extremely undersized. Changed positions multiple times. Played in one of the worst positions, slot receiver in the middle of all these huge linebackers and safeties. This man played and risk it all on the line. Every play could have been his last. He played with tremendous heart. Thats what makes a champion.
Amen dolla is a good ass dude. No jealously, all love for his friend
He deserves to be in the hall of fame.
Legit don't understand how the #2 WR Playoff Performer of all time won't get into the Hall of Fame but someone like Eli who was carried his entire career & posted only two good seasons has a better chance... If anything Edelman should have a way stronger case than Fitzgerald for all the playoff accolades vs the regular season accolades Fitzgerald brings to the HOF case; one is obviously more valuable & came during the biggest stage(s) when he was the starter.

@@user-qy4xo4id1t So is Jerry not better than Moss in alot of people's eyes because of the Playoff Metrics on top of everything else? Moss is the more dominant (arguably better receiver) over Rice, but 8/10 will go with Rice solely at times due to the Playoff stats & Impact on the most important games he was able to stack up on power house teams. Edelman was a slot & not gifted with 6'2+ height like Cooper Kupp or Really Dominant #1 Receivers have & still put up really good stats (such as 84 YPG on average in 4 Super Bowls & (3) being top 5 defenses those years (Falcons, Rams, & Seahawks)). The impact in the post season runs should be more of a reason to get in than a bum like Eli who got CARRIED every year. I bet there are people who would argue that Welker should be in first before Edelman & that dude shouldn't even be allowed in any conversion with Edelman in my opinion... If amazing players with the stats of legends like Torry Holt & Steve Smith can't get in, then what's the point of saying stats is what matters to be in the Hall??? They were better players, but Edelman had more impact on the game & that biggest moments (on multiple upon multiple occasions) & should be in the HOF with the notion that players in the Hall should be those that had an unbelievable impact on the game as an individual for atleast a good amount of seasons.

Jules will probably always be my favorite player of all time. Yes, more so than TB12. He had to scratch and claw his way throughout his whole career and without him, TB12 might very well not win any of the last 3 Super Bowls in NE.
In my top three favorite players of all time
All the crazy hit! 2:28 I’m a photographer if I was down that field! I would of snap like thousand pics right there for that moment!!
You can lead a donkey to water but you can’t make them a horse? Oooooooookaaaaayyyy 😂
3:33 anyone else think Jules looks pretty good as a composer?
Best Super Bowl wide receiver of all time.
Should be in the hall of fame
Good job young fella see you all game 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As I Falcons fan I hate Edelman, but as a football fan I love the guy. Crazy player with a crazy story.
He took a nasty shot @1:13, but he was clearly down and got back up. Zebras were on the patriots side
I never knew that the ball hit the ref after he spiked the ball. I’ve only seen pictures of the spike.
Wait this isn't even talking about the runaround he gave the Rams? He was the best receiver on the field in that superbowl too
“You can lead a donkey to water but you can’t make him a horse.” Frank, what????
OBJ, Pickens, and all these diva receivers can’t hold a candler to Edelman. They are willing to do put in the effort to sacrifice for the team, all they care about are highlights
Dude put himself in concussion protocol aka cobwebs
Greatest catch I’ve ever seen. Who cares about odell. He wasn’t even covered. This dude at 6 arms and 6 legs tk ckntest

He just changed up the normal, 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.' I believe he means that he could teach Julian how to play football (lead a donkey to water) but Julian would have make himself into a great football player (become a horse). At least that was how I interpreted it. Probably not the best analogy but it was amusing.

he has something more valuable than the hall of fame, he has three rings and many in the hall of fame from what i have read have none, as a player i would want a ring never mind the other stuff, that is what they all strive for, ask dan maurino,
That was an obvious OPI with a push off at the goal line in the Seattle game. We all said it when it happened.
