Hall of Fame wide receiver, Cris Carter, sits down with some of the best to ever play the position from the past and present. With the inaugural episode, Cris chats with New England Patriots legend, Julian Edelman about his rise to success in the NFL as a wide receiver. Cris begins by discussing Jules’ life post football. What is the transition to sports media like? Edelman is starting his career at Inside The NFL just like Cris did. They also discuss his other endeavors with NFT’s, and a production company that Jules has a lot of irons in the fire with. Cris poses a big question about how Jules will judge the Patriots from the booth. Will he be harsh? What will be his on screen persona? The conversation shifts to the Hall of Fame. It is common knowledge that Edelman’s stats on paper are not “Hall of Fame Worthy.” However, his post season performance and his Super Bowl victories put him in a different category than most. Does the man himself think that he belongs in the Hall? Cris is fascinated by Julian Edelman finding Judaism later in life. Edelman unpacks his journey to Israel and what it has awakened in him. The journey to becoming Brady’s favorite target is a good one. Cris and Jules dive deep into what that looked like and how he eventually become completely in sync with the GOAT. The fun stories come toward the end, with musings of Robert Kraft, Tom Brady fun times, Randy Moss in practice, and Belichick partying. Finishing out the episode, Edelman gives praise to Cris for his work ethic and may have adopted a thing or two from the legend.
