Julian Edelman Talks Possible Comeback, Gronk, New Podcast & More with Rich Eisen | Full Interview

Three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman joins the Rich Eisen Show in-studio where he reveals why he’s missing football now more than ever and if he’d consider a comeback if Tom Brady called, discusses his new ‘Games with Names’ podcast that revisits some of the most famous games and plays in sports history, weighs in on the Patriots’ “vanilla” offense that has been unimpressive in the pre-season so far, why he’s picking the Las Vegas Raiders to win the AFC West, imagines what a Patriots version of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ would have looked like, and in a game of ‘Edelman True or False’ reveals how he came to conduct the Boston Pops Orchestra once, wrote three children’s books, and the real story behind Rob Gronkowski putting a dent in the Lombardi Trophy at Fenway Park when he tried to use it as a bat.

New England LOVES Jules!!

[@SuperMarvielous]

Not a Patriot fan but Ifind myself grinning from ear to ear watching this episode. Thanks Julan Edelman and Rich

[@Rosachisp]

We could all tell you always did your best , gave your best ,. That’s what made you , Gronk and Brady so great . And a delight to watch.

[@susanhowe88]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@gk5908]

We named our son Julian largely because of this gentleman’s inspired performance in the Super Bowl vs Atlanta. Thank you for your effort and joy playing the game over the years.

[@buttsauce123]

That is awesome!! I will never forget it

[@matthewdorso4302]

Julian Edelman is the man

[@PatrickMHoey]

Jules is going to be the coolest old man, and I say that as one of my highest forms of compliments.

[@carlosh2390]

Amen brotha!!

[@GrooveSchoolRecs]

Lmfaooo

[@abjustdoit1294]

He caught that ball twice too 😂😂

[@mychalson_bot5994]

Good watch/listen.

[@shimfresh11]

I CAN FEEL THIS ALREADY GONNA BE A GREAT PODCAST WITH GREAT CONTENTS CONGRATS TO U JULIAN

[@TheRoyalFino]

That interview was an hour too short.

[@BennysBenz]

Man look at his hand he took alot of hits.

[@cccullen]

Yeah, his right pinky looks jacked.

[@guytyler4871]

Almost as bad as AJ Hawks meat claws

[@JeffStay]

...gotta love this guy! Not one, but 3 childrens books!

[@FreeRoyalPowerHour]

Fitting that Jules,a big game player,has a podcast about big time games.

[@eagleforever6495]

he was a beast! especially in the playoffs!

[@Andyman2340]

That was actually supremely entertaining… especially learning that him and Gronk dented the Lombardi trophy with a baseball lol

[@0rangecray0n]

Been waiting for this one

[@Rosachisp]

Please Julian come back . We miss you. and if you do I hope you play with Brady again that would blow my mind.

[@mr.bubblewrap5726]

The greatest catch ive ever seen

[@matthewfreeman33]

Legend!!!

[@crwmdp9]

THE baller of BALLERS!

[@alexshayatovich8722]

Love this guy.

[@AbandonCrabcore]

tom is alrady calling right now

[@bwright070108]

love the Dad gear

[@edgarcorona2581]

Good interview

[@kcender3771]

I just realized how much I enjoyed this show when I looked over at what else was suggested by YT afterwards. Thank you Rich for providing a respite from the world for almost forty minutes. I will definitely ck out Jule's pod cast.

[@chrisconnor8086]

could listen to these two chop it up all day. Edelman would be a great color commentator… hope he reunites with tom one last time before broadcasting though

[@williamekasala2861]

This guy’s the BEST!!!

[@earthshinestudios8736]

Jules & Brady need to "ride again..."

[@ChefClary60]

This guy has given us a lot of entertainment

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Miss Edelman playing, great player, intelligent. I think he’s smart enough to stay retired and protect his legacy.🎧

[@taylorjohnson1700]

I’m a die hard ravens fan… but man I really have always loved Edelman. Hard not to. He’s worked so hard to get where he is it’s hard not to admire him. Excellent ball player and incredible work ethic. I hope nothing but the best for him.

[@evanflowforever6615]

Julian Edelman caught the greatest catch in NFL HISTORY--Twice!!!!!!! In Superbowl 42 he caught the catch that gave Tom his fourth. THEN...IN SUPERBOWL 51. Along comes MAGIC?

[@johnspensley5331]

?? 42. They lost super bowl 42 . I was there

[@jeremytaft8247]

The second greatest catch in history.

[@MidnightMoon2267]

Giants won 42 to my dismay. It’s not hard to google stuff btw.

[@evanflowforever6615]

@@MidnightMoon2267 Superbowl 49. Whoops. Oh well. What a run...Everything that went wrong in 42 went right in 49. Brady baby!!!!!!!

[@Billysim123]

Wow this is a great episode

[@chhansen9813]

Its a crime that Julian never got selected for a ProBowl game!

[@GLGolden55]

That SB MVP probably makes up for that snub

[@sonnymays7033]

I guarantee if mike evans or Godwin goes down Brady makes that call and Edelman comes running

[@joefilipelli3867]

Nah, tb12 knows Jules doesn't have anything left in the tank

[@tehnoonusmani658]

He was a special weapon

[@loud_laughter]

WHAT A GR8 CONVO!!!!

[@matthewsilva8617]

Once again, thanks Cam Newton for putting this legend into harms way with almost every throw. Made him want to quit! Toughest WR I’ve ever seen and he was like nah I’m out. Especially after that Seattle game early in the season. Edelman took a beating and Can couldn’t run in from the 2yd line

[@cheighes1]

Wilfork would have been the star of Patriots Hard Knocks.

[@incognitoguitars9999]

Incredible!

[@TheeRomantic]

I'm excited for this podcast 🤣

[@andypham4216]

Hey you watched all the way to the end. Thanks for that.

[@davidb6576]

But I didn't read to the end of your comment!

[@Thuase]

The way he says that is so sultry and seductive. Gets me every time.

[@williamstafford8951]

An all time great Pat Thanks for your effort Brother We noticed

[@j.baptistecl.5758]

Super interested in that podcast he got coming, hope it won't be behind a paywall lol

[@9Greyskies]

He was really really good

[@devonowens3652]

As a Giants fan I will not miss the one he does with Eli. I would truly love to get that multiple perspectives of those games.

[@ozlanden]

Sam More-ill, not moral, but I appreciate the shoutout to him

[@stephaniepruett2488]

Tom! Give Julian a jingle…right meow!

[@111RAMONES]

Nice shirt Rich!

[@centariogrier3255]

Absolute primetime television!!

[@steveclapper5424]

If Tom calls he'll go.

[@wickeddoughboyjaydunn3652]

I really wish he would go help with coaching staff with WR'S with the Patriots.

[@gregsonntag3062]

Come to Denver that would be awesome!!

[@zorandobrijevic8729]

awesome !!!!!

[@buklon7696]

Let’s ride!!!

Edelman, Gronk, Brady reunion for one last dance? 👀

[@ulnoohiker8983]

Ask Mark Spitz to sign the book

[@mpatnode1]

If you did come back, please make it in New England.

[@jahnelss]

NOT SANTANA! 😭😂🤣

[@themetalone7739]

I wish he'd come back...would love to see what him and Mac Jones could do together.

[@xvxv711]

He ain’t going to come back for anybody but Brady

[@Buddystemz]

@@xvxv711 he’d come back for Josh McDaniels

[@alysonsneyd3401]

Big Pat’s fan. Miss you Jules….What about the Doug Flutie Hail Mary?

[@randomshortz17]

Edelman looks blazed out his gourd lol

[@budfox2337]

No Brady questions ? Cmon Rich

[@michaelfarrish2931]

Did Rich just quote Omar?! Lol!

First ballot Patriot's HOF player.

Jerry Rice disagrees.

Response was obviously to Guj.

[@TupacAShakurAfeni]

Classy guy.

[@cdragon88]

Wait, they choosing between Raiders and Broncos for the division? Patrick Mahomes got hurt and Andy Reid retired or what?

[@CustomStripingAndSealCoating]

He is coming back if New England or Tampa calls if they are about to make the playoffs

[@curmidgeon8]

Drafted Carr and Rodgers in my super flex league. Let’s ride.

[@captainfutility1]

i love him :)

[@diamondd2778]

Geez those predictions age well.....

[@Nismo738]

Even Julian is picking Raiders, I feel like he knows something, it's gonna be more special than people are saying.

[@Blackandwhiteivorys]

It won't...

[@tomharvey704]

No.11 is the man!

[@joshuabennett8110]

1:20.....Omar Little!

[@lordemed1]

a yr later luv listening to these guys predictions for the 2022 AFC West ----Brockman- "Chiefs don't make the playoffs"....Eisen- " Raiders win their division"....Eidelman- "my darkhorse is Denver"...man, could these 3 "experts' be more wrong? 🤣🤣🤣

[@italnsd]

Lol, gotta love football "experts". At least these were tough predictions with multiple possible outcomes. Before SB LV no one of the "experts" picked the Bucs to win. The same "experts" that after the game explained us that the Chiefs had no chances because of the banged up o-line, something that was well-known before they made their predictions lol

[@benitojuarez999]

norte dame vs miami and usc vs texas

[@sic308941]

love me some JE11

[@adaleespence5424]

The great question is....How do you spot the NEXT Julian Edelman in the draft? This dude is smart, quick, and a football NUT!! ps...I HATE the pats! Great interview Rich! get him back!!!!! I love hearing how the Pats screwed Brady....justifies my anti pats feelings... LOL

[@Blackandwhiteivorys]

It's called a baton Juels... lol

[@franklopez992]

Edelman to the raidersssssssssss

What's with Julian's face? CTE?

Julian is intelligent and funny.

[@jeremylundeen9798]

Edeldude!

[@northwoodsforever]

What’s with His right little finger? Ronnie Lott comes to mind….

[@kristiwasserman2303]

Sounds like Miami fans getting hammered. It’s what you do down there😂

[@ericpleau8000]

Oakland raiders are a Dark Horse.

[@euriel2010]

Edelman is feeling good. Gronk is bored. Brady's in need of slot receivers. I'll cross my fingers and hold my breath.

[@churlish7851]

No but there's an e for Edelman

[@davidb6576]

I'm mad at JE11 because he stole all the personality, and left none for plebes like me. Darn you, Jules!!

[@shawnclapper6581]

I like him but what he said about Jimmy G was uncalled for cause it's funny 99.9% of the 49ers locker room loved and still dose love him

[@LIBlurr]

Would love to see him go another few rounds with Brady, but isn’t his knee cartilage gone? Or did he get stem cell treatment which works fairly well to regrow it?

[@gbgn1]

GB needs you,lol..

[@williamekasala2861]

Nobody…no one! Who ever played for… the Pats…was better than Edelman.

[@reygone776]

You forgot? Randy Moss!

[@lukepedersen9681]

Julian’s the best

[@MrBigslickz]

Come back and sign for the bucks
