Celebrate Julian Edelman’s Birthday With His Best Mic’d Up Moments (Video)

Patriots receiver Julian Edelman celebrated his birthday, and the New England Patriots wrote so many messages of support and good wishes.

Edelman signed a two-year contract extension with the Patriots, and he received a bunch of birthday wishes. He is living his best life.

The Patriots posted the best mic’d up moments from the receiver’s career.

Edelman was named the Super Bowl MVP, and it was the greatest honor of them all. “An absolute honor to get this award,” Edelman said. “But honestly, I’m just so proud of the group of guys that we had this year. The ups and downs we all had with just the ebbs and flows of the season. When you play a whole year, you see the team shapes up and you see how this team grinded and worked each week, when things weren’t at its best, to constantly try to go out and improve, just shows what kind of group of guys it was this year.”

Do you know that Edelman didn’t sleep for days after the Super Bowl?

“Honestly, I haven’t had a real moment to sit back and kinda think about it,” he said about winning the MVP award. “I was hanging out with family and … the grind of a football season is so mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting, especially after playing a game like that, I’m really just kinda tired and just want to go home and relax on the couch.”

The receiver also went on The Ellen DeGeneres show, and Ellen presented him with the Pete Rozelle Trophy.

“Just winning the game is what you want,” Edelman said on the show. “But getting the MVP is kind of a win for me and my other team, and that’s my family. Getting to experience this with them because they’ve been in my corner and they’ve made me who I am. My father was a tough, hard-nosed guy who, you know, didn’t have a father and pushed me to limits I never thought I’d get to. And my mother, being the loving little lady that she is, I was never late to a practice. She was always there.”
