Julian Edelman Reveals Advice Bill Belichick Gave Him For New Career

Julian Edelman has revealed the advice that Bill Belichick gave him for his new career and it is some pretty interesting stuff. The Patriots are coming off of a much needed win in week 5 of the NFL season. They were able to take out the Houston Texans and the team looked pretty decent. But they still have quite a bit of stuff to work on. They are currently being led by a rookie quarterback Mac Jones.

Now, though, Julian Edelman has come out with some advice that Belichick gave him before starting his new career.

“So I retired this offseason, and I haven’t seen (Belichick),” Edelman said. “I end up going to some little shindig, and he was there. It’s been publicized that I was doing ‘Inside the NFL’ for, like, five months. So he looks at me and he goes, ‘So, what are you up to now?’ I’m like, ‘I’m doing ‘Inside the NFL,’ ‘ And he looks at me and goes, ‘Oh, you’re doing media?’ And I go, ‘Yeah, you know, it’s going to be kind of fun.’”

“I didn’t know what I could say to him. He’s scary. He’s intimidating. And so he goes, ‘Look, you can’t be a homer. … If you have to mother(expletive) us, you can mother(expletive) us.’ It felt like a mafia meeting. But it was cool. … He was telling me to do my job. But it was fresh out of a movie, like I was (in) ‘A Bronx Tale’ at an Italian restaurant and I see the old mob boss.”

“I did have a couple things on the show ‘Inside the NFL’ where I was kind of mocking him,” Edelman said on “PMT.” “I did a voice, little impressions. So when I went back — I went back for a game (in Week 3) — I saw him, and I’m like, ‘Hey, Coach.’ I didn’t know how to react, because he said something in the media. (WEEI host) Greg Hill called him out and was like, ‘Hey, you hear about Edelman impersonating you?’ And he gave one of his (typical Belichick responses).”

“So, like, I’m kind of sweating. I’m on the sideline before the game, and Coach comes up. I’m like, ‘Hey, Coach. You know I’m just messing around.’ And he’s like, ‘Ah, you’re all right.’ And I’m like, oh, we’re good. We’re golden. That means I’ve got to see where the line’s at. I’ve got to see where the line’s at. And I guess I haven’t hit that line yet.”
