Here’s How Julian Edelman Feels About Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham

Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will probably have to catch passed from second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Edelman was never too excited about Tom Brady’s successors. He wasn’t happy when head coach Bill Belichick was bringing new quarterbacks. What does Edelman say about Stidham?

Mike Giardi from NFL Media quoted a Patriots player who shared details of Edelman’s mindset for the upcoming season. Giardi made an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Felger & Mazz” show to discuss the current situation in New England, including Edelman, Stidham and pretty much everything related to the upcoming season.

“I think they’re in a good place,” Giardi said. ” … It’s interesting, because I think when Jimmy (Garoppolo) was around, Julian wasn’t necessarily — especially early on — arms wide open for Jimmy. And I think that’s not the way that this has played out. … From what I can gather, he’s much more receptive to Stidham and what Stidham brings to the table. I think that Edelman came around on Garoppolo but, in the beginning, that was a shot across Brady’s bow therefore Julian took it as a shot across his bow as well.”

This is more than good news for the Patriots nation. Brady’s departure put fans into frenzy. What will happen in 2020? Will Stidham manage to lead the Patriots?

Edelman has been working with Stidham, and several sources confirmed the information. We don’t know whether Edelman will be able to build a strong chemistry with the quarterback. One thing stands for sure. Edelman won’t just give up on his title. He was named the Super Bowl MVP in 2018. In 2019, the Patriots had hard time coping with their rivals. But, it was a strong season for the wideout.

Brady is getting ready for his new team, and Edelman is excited about his new chapter. According to some sources, Edelman is using Brady’s departure as motivation. He knows that some people doubt his success. But, Edelman is here and so are his great teammates. Bill Belichick built a completely different roster and he has some great names in the squad. 2020 is a really big season for every team in the NFL.
