Patriots’ Edelman Celebrates Josh Gordon’s Return With Awesome Instagram Post

Josh Gordon has returned to the New England Patriots, and Julian Edelman is looking forward to his comeback.

The receiver took to Instagram to announce the “new season.”

Edelman isn’t the only Patriot who is looking forward to Gordon’s return. Tom Brady had dinner with the receiver, and made headlines.

“In general, I have had a great relationship with a lot of the guys — almost every single guy I have ever played with,” Brady said. “Relationships are a two-way street. That is part of what makes a real healthy relationship. I have had a quarterback-receiver relationship, whether it is with Julian (Edelman), or Troy Brown, or Wes (Welker) or Randy (Moss). We talk a lot. We communicate a lot and you want to see everybody that you work with and play with be the best they can be and you try and support and empower the best way that you can.

“It’s different for everybody. Everybody comes from different places and I always try and do the best I can do. It’s served our team well over a long period of time. Every player who comes in wants to contribute and wants to do the right thing. I think this current team is made up of guys who have really worked hard, really put the team first and we want to go out there and perform well for our team, and our city, our fans and our family. I don’t see anything different this year other than that.”

Phillip Dorsett was probably the most excited Patriot.

“We love Josh,” the fellow wideout said. “I love Josh. I’m just glad to have him back. … It’s definitely good to see him. It’s refreshing.

“He’s a physical specimen,” Dorsett said. “We all know that. Even from what he did last year — he helped this team out a lot. And we’re definitely hoping he can come back and do the same.” 

“It definitely would mean a lot to him, because I know it means a lot to him to just play football,” he recently told ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “I was definitely close to him. I just hope he gets himself right. That’s my main concern — just him as a human being. I don’t really care about the football thing. I just want to see him be healthy in his mind, his body and spirit.”
