Julian Edelman Posts Amazing Illustration Ahead Of Daytona 500

Julian Edelman is super busy at the moment, and he will wave the green flag for NASCAR’s premier event. Daytona 500 is Edelman’s latest challenge.

The Patriot is the Super Bowl MVP, and his postseason was better than ever. Now he is honored with the huge role for Daytona 500.

“Julian Edelman is an incredible addition to the list of pre-race dignitaries for the Daytona 500,” said Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile in a press release. “We’re honored to have such a superb athlete, who recently won on NFL’s biggest stage and was the Super Bowl MVP, wave the green flag for NASCAR’s premier event.”

The receiver took to Instagram to announce the big event.

Although 2018 did not start well for the Patriots receiver, Edelman had the smoothest finish ever.

“It was tough,” Edelman said of 2018. “You’ve got mixed emotions. You’re happy your teammates are there. You’ve seen some of these younger guys come in as rookies and develop big roles and make big plays to get to the Super Bowl and you’re excited for them but then you also have a hurt feeling because you’re not playing. That’s kind of how you feel but that was last year and this year I’m thinking about the Los Angeles Rams.”

“After going through this whole year,” he said in a recent interview, “these last 24 months of my life have been a roller coaster. You go out and you tear an ACL. Then all of a sudden you have a suspension that you’re facing. A lot of things go down and then you end up … a huge low of your life. Because football is life. That’s what people don’t understand with me. This is what I am. This is what I was put here to do. This is what I sacrificed all my time for—my friends, my family, everything like that … And then when you’re told you can’t play football for four weeks because of something that happened that you really can’t get into because you really don’t know what happened, it’s tough. You learn a lot from that.
