Report: Julian Edelman Has Taken 23-Year-Old WR ‘Under His Wing’

Is there any chance for Gunner Olszewski to replace veteran wide receiver Julian Edelman? There has been an ongoing discussion about this, and things may turn really good for the Patriots in that aspect.

Edelman promised to do his best in the 2020. He won’t have Tom Brady by his side, but Edelman is confident about his next season. the veteran wideout believes that his team is much better than anyone would admit. Some say the Patriots will not only fail to hit the AFC East title for the first time in 12 years, but some have also said that Brady’s departure put an end to the Patriots dynasty. Some analysts say that the Patriots will miss the postseason.

Edelman isn’t really happy about this. He has been working with second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Brian Hoyer and Stidham will probably have to compete for the spot on the roster. But, knowing that Edelman and Stidham work together gives us certainty.

Julian Edelman has connected with Gunner Olszewski

NFL analyst Mike Giardi said that Edelman loves Olszewski. Giardi also said that Edelman has taken him “under his wing.”

“There’s been a lot of discussion around him [Edelman], which is another reason why I wanted to talk to some people in addition to the more important stuff we were doing, but the football stuff, (he’s) been very involved in the throwing sessions, very involved with the other receivers and getting them comfortable with the playbook and the system. Damiere Byrd has been working out and he has been helping Byrd and obviously he has taken Gunner Olszewski under his wing. He loves that kid. Gunner has been part of this as well.”

Edelman’s chemistry with TB12 played a big role in his success in the league.

Olszewski and Edelman are more similar than you can imagine. They have great contribution to the team. Edelman had his chance with the team as a punt returner. Olszewski got his spot on the team due to his skillset. Let’s not forget that Edelman was a quarterback at Kent State. He wasn’t accurate, but he was the best athlete on the field.

Let’s see what happens in September.
