So far Julian Edelman has had an impressive career with the Patriots, from having an undetermined position when first drafted, to making the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLIX. Edelman is an incredibly talented and versatile athlete and the burning question that has been on everybody’s mind, or maybe just mine, since earlier this past week: Does Julian Edelman love Tom Brady so much that in due time he will eventually become a clone of Brady himself? Let’s look at some of the facts. Brady and Edelman are both from Northern California’s Bay Area, they were quarterbacks throughout their non-professional academic careers, they both attended colleges in the northern Midwest, and they were both underdogs in the beginning of their professional careers as late-round picks in the draft.

Now, Edelman’s actual transformative journey began when he was in the eighth grade and he pretended to be Brady during recess. Since then, Edelman has become Brady’s go-to wide receiver during the regular season and they’re totally BFFs, often going on off-season vacations and attending various events like the Kentucky Derby together. They have both dabbled in fashion with Brady representing Under Armor and Ugg and Edelman representing Puma and John Varvatos. Let’s also not forget that Brady’s jersey number is 12 and Edelman’s is 11. Additionally, they both have animal nicknames, Brady is often referred to as Goat while Edelman is known as Squirrel. Their bromance is beyond cute and more and more people are noticing the similarities, even Brady’s former go-to receiver Wes Welker said that Edelman is an off-brand version of Brady.

Finally, to fully seal Edelman’s fate as Brady’s long-lost twin, this past week it was announced that Edelman is dating Brazilian model Adriana Lima. We all know that Brady and his wife Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen are couple goals and they probably set Edelman and Lima up; however, the real kicker is that Edelman may have fathered a child with Swedish model Ella Rose. This more than mimics the beginning of Brady’s relationship with Gisele when he found out that his former girlfriend actress Bridget Moynahan was pregnant with his son John. It’s all a little too coincidental to not be a clear sign that Edelman is morphing into Brady.

Personally, I’m a fan of this since I love Brady and Edelman and I’m interested to see how the rest of Edelman’s career and life will turn out and if he will fully transform into a carbon copy of Brady. Maybe there will be a couple more Brady-like occurrences in Edelman’s life or maybe, the path my money’s on, Edelman will go on to be extremely successful in his own right instead of living under Brady’s shadow. Honestly, I think that this just proves if you constantly work hard you’ll be rewarded in the future. Correspondingly, Brady is a great role model for anyone who wants to succeed in the NFL and of course, Edelman is as well; however, Edelman’s life, in general, is more inspirational and everyone can learn a lot from him.

Anyway, for now, let’s just hope that Edelman will not get injured again during the upcoming season since the entire Pat’s nation missed him dearly last season. On a selfish side, I can only hope that his relationship with Lima doesn’t last forever because I’m pretty positive we’re soul mates, sorry not sorry. All joking aside, I wonder what Gronk’s thoughts are about this since Edelman is his man crush; someone should check on that.
