Julian Edelman - Impossible Toughness (Greatest Edelman video on YouTube) 

Hey man I've been a huge fan for a while now I watch your videos religiously! You have just given me a whole new appreciation for sports I never watched and athletes as well, Edelman being one of them and I've despised the Patriots my whole life. I can tell you're not a hockey fan but my god hockey needs someone like you to start making content like this!

Man would you please... PLEASE... give Max Holloway the deep dive/in depth treatment he deserves as only you (or with all due respect, Mixed Molly) could deliver. You could even do it as a “part 1” because the kid is still SO YOUNG. (Other interesting ones... • Valentina Shevchenko would be amazing because let’s face it, the woman is basically an international assassin who just happens to mma cage fight in her spare time. So much you could cover on her. SO much. Either one would be amazing because neither of these two amazing fighters has a really good short (of long) form doc on them yet and that is just fucking crazy with all they have both accomplished.

@@Redsocks1212 be the one.

Hey I know this would be a hard video but could you do a video every year on the sb winner journey to the sb with the best moments?

When u gonna make a luke kuechly video man is a legend and had his career cut in half so to injuries

I thought he said that when they scored before half? Or I’m trippin

Jay Marrufo yeah it was when they went up 14-0

@@mjf2891 that Chiefs squad at the top of their game. MVP Mahomes and a stacked offense steamrolling the league. Everyone saw them handling business through the post season and then Pats came through and crashed their party. Making that Edelman quote carry that much more weight

He’s gonna get in on rings (if anything), cause his stats are horrible (and he’s been injury prone).

@@officialnoyakuk his regular season stats are bad but not his playoff stats

He's the squirrel

Super Squirrel

Edelbeard

My boy looks like ratatoskr with the playoff beard

Nothing made me happier than that play-off beard. Because you knew.... it was B3A5TM0D3 T1M3. The animal was coming out to play and you better pray you weren't the prey

I was living in Boston at the time… the way we all took over the streets of that city after this game was unlike anything I’ve see in real life, on tv or anywhere really. Cops had no control or authority due to virtually every human living in that city at the time filling the parks and streets, but there was no need for them because everything was peaceful and everyone was partying together. A privilege to be a part of

It actually surpassed anything a movie has done.

It really was

Hells yeahhhh!!! 18-1!!!!!!! We the best that year!!! GMEN!!!!

​@@mg659er take a seat kid, nobody here is talking about your two-hit-wonders 😂 we're here to watch real greatness.

It was for a couple games. He played well at corner. Troy Brown did the same. He had 3 ints though he was our wr and return man. I am a big welker fan but the ironman role goes #1 Julian, #2 Troy Brown aka Mr. Patriot, #3 Wes Welker

The 2011 defense was so bad they had to play Edelman. 2011 team still went to the Superbowl though.

@@metalscottsman wes Welker was way better and it's not even close

@@shawnsanders9450 it wasnt a terrible defense. #15 in points against and points against per game. Julian didnt play because of poor performance by the secondary. It was due to the amount of injuries.

@@metalscottsman the injuries is what made it a bad defense OBVIOUSLY. The 2011 Patriots defense has a HORRIBLE DVOA ranking of 30th. DVOA factors in points, yards, turnovers, sacks ect. If the offense controls time of possession, field position, turnovers ect its much easier for the defense to keep points off the board.

LOL!!!! I love this comment

Imagine Trump living so rent free in someone’s head😭😭

@@nofilterpatriot3133 Ah someone who thinks I give a crap. Seems like a funny name is living more rent free in your head. Who said I hated trump? Who said I'm thinking about him? You did. Sounds like its more of an issue with you than me.

@@nofilterpatriot3133 I'm gonna give you a fair warning. You're not ready for this debate. I suggest to take the chips you have and run.

@@nofilterpatriot3133 I'm actually taking bets with what you're gonna say next, so please win me some money.

Trio. Brady, Edelman, Gronkowski.

The Ironman is my all-time favorite, too. He was 5' tall and 105 lbs. as a Highschool Freshman!

Hells yeahhhh!!! 18-1!!!!!!! We the best that year!!! GMEN!!!!

@@mg659er enjoy your 2. we have 6

Troy Brown 2.0

and look why he played in so many playoffs games. he wouldn't have no record if he played on a bad team like jets or lions. dude was avg at best nothing else. he never going be in HOF . I can't watch it anymore this video is so overreach trying make an avg player look great and he was far from being great. if a guy as 0 probowls and get in HOF something wrong with NFL

Well Jared Goff also probably broke your heart in that game💔

7th round draft pick not 6*

He’s gonna get in on rings (if anything), cause his stats are horrible (and he’s been injury prone).

@@officialnoyakuk rings don’t make you a good player. Winning a Super Bowl is a team effort not based on 1 player. If he gets in the hall of fame, he devalues and depreciated the value of fame of the greatest players to ever do it.

@@Jman3881_ I agree... I don’t think JE did enough on the field to earn the gold jacket.

He's the most impactful post-season WR in the last 20 years I'd say. He definitely left a special mark on the league.

Do you think you’re going to start watching it now?

@@mosescarter5980 You know what, I actually might give it a try and figure out what's going on, figure out the rules and game tactics etc. I'm a big MMA fan and a rugby fan so I'm used to seeing massive impacts and I can't help but respect these men who put their bodies through hell to reach the greatest heights in heaven. So they've got my respect. After watching this video on the sport I can't help but feel that I'm missing out on something special. Those passes are some of the more amazing thing I've seen in a while, the timing and millisecond decision making is phenomenal. God bless America and Ireland.

Do you wacth Connor mcgregor

@@matthewblair6763 Yeah, I watched McGregor getting his legs mauled by Dustin Poirier and actually won 180 bucks on his KO victory.

@@IrishTechnicalThinker lol hell yeah

Definitely! Only player I think was more clutch as a wide receiver was Larry but edelman got to do it on the big stage multiple times.

@@Christopher._M Plus he was always putting in those hard yards, taking big hits on routes across the middle, powering through tackles for that extra yard. He wasn't flashy or showy, just an absolute tank who Brady could always rely on to get it done

He’s super tough. It isn’t hard to walk on a torn ACL though tbh. You see it all the time. I’ve seen it on our women’s high school soccer team from people that I personally know are kind of complete pussies 😂

I know a dude that torn his acl in a basketball game, came out put two knee braces and went back in to finish the game. He got the acl replaced and 3 months later he was full at it playing ball.

Facts

He's gotta be in the HOF. Maybe not 1st Ballet, but guaranteed in 6 or 7 years we will see him get in the HOF as a 2nd ballet Hall Of Famer.

Real talk.

LOL Wes Welker with his cocky, no. Little did he know Bill was trying to tell him the GOAT was on the field.

He really should. Not only did he have solid general numbers, but he was nails in the playoffs, he was a complete players with blocking, running, catching, special teams, and even a little defense and QB. Add that each of his yards were tough gritty yards that moved the chains, and yeah.... by pure football metrics, he belongs in the Hall of Fame.

I think he should be in patriots hall of fame 💯💯💯

Fun fact: Julian Edelman averages less yards than the sports broadcaster, Chris Collinsworth

@@thetf8142 Fun fact: that's wrong 😂

@@xanderchristy2495 6698 in 107 games 6822 in 137 games Edelman has 200 more yards in 30 more games

As a kid growing up I hated the patriots , now I respect all of there players and tom brady

yes, he was good more like ok player, but I sure wouldn't call him great player. he only has 3 seasons with 1000 yards. for his career he doesn't have 7000 yards receiving and never been voted to probowl. you need HOF numbers to be a HOF player.

@@funtyes1970 I never said he was a HoF lol shut the fuck up he was the 2nd best post season Wr ever

I think he should hop down to Tampa next year, and ride into the sunset with Brady and Gronk, when it's over.

Guarantee I'm a bigger fan lol

@@thomascoburn5481 doubt

Doubt all you want lol

klay is walking history by himself already, lavine is story in the making at best.

Levine could probably get a joe Vincent film if he wasn't completely allergic to defense. I think he's rated pretty appropriately lol

Levine is becoming one of the forgotten stars of today's era. He needs to at least make the playoffs first.

Fun fact: Julian edelman has less yards than Chris collinsworth

@@thetf8142 But, if am not mistaken, he is only behind Jerry Rice in playoffs yard.

Same here !!

hey Monahan dont have anything to say

He uses their footage to do it.

@@paulgaither 😂🙈

Edelman was a great player, no doubt, but not a HOF player. Not with a mere 6,822 yards and 36 touchdowns over a span of 11 seasons. For comparison, Henry Ellard had over 13,000 receiving yards in his career, and he's still not in Canton.

@@TheStapleGunKid He said Joe not Julian

@@TheStapleGunKid not about the yards it’s about the impact he had on the league I mean he won 3 Super Bowls that alone would get any quarterback into the hall of fame why not a receiver

I don’t think he will bc he only had 6,000 career yards

@@AfricanIceCream Yeah, I know. But still, I hope he does.

@@beninmalgaard9836 if he makes it then so should ocho he’s one of my favorites and is so iconic

@@AfricanIceCream As a Patriots fan who literally idolizes Edelman, I don't think he will make it in the hall. But even with his lack of stats, look as his resume. Julian was the number 1 receiver on a team that always had a top offense, and always was in title contention. People 50 years from now could look back and be like, "hmm lets see who made this Patriots offense back in the 2010s so good for so long. Gronkowski. I know that guy, freak of nature, and Jul-- Julian Edelman? Well he must have been a helluva player for them to win so much." See what I'm getting at here. Edelman might be a receiver who will end up being more memorable than Odell, Julio or even AB.

@@elliottpierce9823 yeah I’m just saying the impact they had cam be incredible but I feel stats are gonna say majority of it when your trying to get in the hall Julian had longevity and was always reliable especially in the clutch hence sb mvp but underwhelming stats that’s why I brought up chad. Incredible player always looked open had a huge impact and brought something new but wasn’t brought it bc of stats if they didn’t matter so much edleman would be a sure fire hall of famer

Nobody

Nobody brings it home like Joe Vincent.

You have mine too -HOF definiely. Made all the plays.3 time super bowler,great punt returner such a winner.

Pats Nation💯💪🏾

@@spanklocpimpn7517 Hell Yeah Man

#11💪

Oh man, as a Pats fan that game surely took some time off my life. The Ravens have always been a thorn in the Pats side, they always play then tough.

So nobody else is your favorite, taysom hill Plays exactly like him

@@spence_903 no Juilans my fav. Dudes 5,10 200 pounds was a 7th round draft pick and played qb in collage just to put up 1000 yard seasons as a wr. Hardest working sports player of all time

@@gavinoloupe135 they say he hall of Fame but hell no, 6k+ yards recieving and 36 or 37 TDs Hall of fame maybe If he had 10k or 11k yards and 90+ TDs

@@spence_903 pretty good for a team with Randy moss Gronk Danny amedalia Chris Hogan and much much more. Also had a sack interception and like 5 punt kickoff tds. He also played 9 seasons riddled with injury's. Also a 3 time superbowl winner and a Superbowl mvp as a slot receiver. A slot receiver winning superbowl MVP. Trust me buddy don't waste your time there's no unconvincing me

barley getting 1000 yards a season yeah ok.🤣

Very true

Agreed

If Lynn Swann is in the HoF, Edelman should be. Branch is getting robbed tho

Just because other receivers aren't getting into the HoF doesn't mean Edelman shouldn't. Just because we believe he should be a HoF doesn't mean we think he should get in before someone else. You can say someone should be a HoFer without saying he should be first ballot or get in before someone else. His career is HoF worthy. That's all that's being said.

@@SeaGLGaming I understand that, by no means was this an attack on Joseph Vincent or anyone else who shares his opinion, I love the guy and his videos. I honestly felt that I was making a point that even though I disagree with the core message (or at least the title), I know this video is going to be awesome and it was. The Edelman HOF debate is going to be interesting for the next 5 years. In my opinion, he should be remembered as an awesome story and a clutch performer, but he should not be put in the hall of fame. It’s that simple, I am not going to whine when someone disagrees. Also, the point with Cliff Branch was to illustrate that a player that I feel is way more deserving (when he retired, Branch was 2nd in playoff receiving yards, he is now 4th, he also has more pro bowls, all pros and career receiving yards and tds than Edelman, Swann and Stallworth) is still not in the hall of fame.

@@SeaGLGaming he statistically shouldn’t be in the hof, there is literally no argument for him being in, he’s just a product of the patriots dynasty that’s it. He has no personal accomplishments, 0 pro bowls, horrid stats (when compared to some wrs that aren’t even in the hof yet), is a literal downgrade of Wes welker in every statistical category (someone who isn’t in the hof yet either and probably won’t be) He doesn’t deserve to be in the hall of fame, hell Chris Collinsworth has better stats than Edelman 😂🤦‍♂️

He explains that his right knee is bone on bone without enough cartilage to run without pain is the reason he retired. I wonder if he got a titanium knee replacement if he would give it a go for a year with TB12 in 2022.

EXACTLY, Julian was a more agile Wes Welker or a faster Wayne Chrebet , I always loved Eric Decker in his prime to.....Tyler Lockett in my opinion is overlooked because of Seattle...These are called slot receivers people, they are a different breed of player

He played 52 percent of his snaps outside tho his words

You Said It Sir

if he makes the HOF that means so do literally hundreds of other players. this dude was only special because of the dudes around him
