Bill Belichick Said It Will Be Great To See Julian Edelman As Long As He Doesn’t Impersonate Him



Sunday is Julian Edelman Day at Gillette Stadium. Edelman will be honored at halftime during the game against the New Orleans Saints. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is quite aware of Julian’s weekly impersonations of him in his new gig on Inside the NFL.

Julian does a Bill Belichick impression every week for “What are we doing?” a series of clips devoted to boneheaded plays.

“Be great to see Julian, assuming that he doesn’t like roast me or get into a big impersonation,” Belichick said.

“Had a tremendous career. Had tremendous production in every area. Receiving, run after catch, punt returns, was a good blocker, was a really tough, competitive kid. Right up there at the top of the guys I’ve coached,” Belichick said. “Be great to see him again and recognize him for the great career that he had here and how much he meant to this team, this organization, and how much he stepped up for us in big games year after year, week after week.”
