Tom Brady Welcomes Julian Edelman Back On Field With Instagram Post

Julian Edelman is back in the game, and Tom Brady is super excited.

The Patriots tight end will be allowed to hit the field after serving his four-game suspension. The New England Patriots played the first four games of the season without Edelman, and let’s just say that things didn’t go as smooth as they thought. But, Edelman will play in the Thursday Night Football game, and the Colts are already petrified.

Hours before the big game, the quarterback took to Instagram to post a game day pic featuring Edelman. Yes, he’s that happy.

“It’s good, it’s good. You know, he hasn’t changed a bit. Four weeks off, he looks good,” Brady said of Edelman’s return.

Edelman tweeted about his excitement right after Brady’s post.

The tight end was away from the field for quite some time. His torn ACL kept him out of the game past season, and he was suspended this summer. But, nothing changed, as Brady said.

“I think we’ve played so much football together. I really have no doubt where he’s going to be at, what he’s capable of. He’s been a great player for our team. I think everyone’s excited to have him back, and anytime you add great players, it’s going to help what we’re doing. We all welcome him back and he’s excited, ready to go and hopefully he can go out and play great,” the quarterback said.

“I mean when he’s out there, I obviously just – I know his body language, I know his ability to get open, my confidence in him. All those things come up. So, when you get matchups and he’s open, he gets it. He gets open so quick. I think that’s the thing about Julian – his explosiveness in the routes, in and out of breaks. It’s very comforting for a quarterback to see a guy get open really early in a route. Julian – we ask a lot of him. He plays a lot of different spots. I think he’s capable of moving in and out of different locations and it’s kind of specialty-type plays. There’s a lot that he does well, and hopefully it’s a smooth transition. Got to prepare this week – it’s going to be a big week of prep and then we’ll go out there and play Thursday night and see where we’re at.”

Wow.
