Whether it was in Pop Warner football, where his Redwood City, California, team won a national championship in high school where he went from a 4'10', 95-pound freshman running back to quarterback for an undefeated Woodside High team or college, where he rewrote records at Kent State as a dual-threat quarterback, Edelman far exceeded everyone's expectations. It was also because he had been counted out in most of his life and career, and he had proved them all wrong. It wasn't only because of his belief in his teammates, led by the master of the comeback, his friend and quarterback Tom Brady-or the coaching staff run by the legendary Bill Belichick. When the Patriots were down 28-3 in Super Bowl LI, there was at least one player who refused to believe they would lose: Julian Edelman. The Super Bowl champion wide receiver for the New England Patriots shares his inspiring story of an underdog kid who was always doubted to becoming one of the most reliable and inspiring players in the NFL. Tom Brady: 'It's a privilege for me to play with someone as special as Julian.' And hey, since he’s out for the 2017 NFL season with a torn ACL, he’ll have plenty of time to read his inspiring memoir more than a few times.Bill Belichick: 'Julian is the epitome of competitiveness, toughness, and the great things that are possible when someone is determined to achieve their goals.' It’s no secret that Edelman is pretty fond of himself and the fact that he “knew” the Patriots would come back in Super Bowl LI. “Inspiring, honest, and unapologetic, ‘Relentless’ proves that the heart of a champion can never be measured.” Finally, he reveals the story behind ‘the catch’ and life on the inside of a team for the ages. Julian shares insights into his relationships and rivalries, and his friendships with teammates such as Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Matt Slater, and Randy Moss. ” ‘Relentless’ is the story of Edelman’s rise, and the continuing dominance of the Patriot dynasty, filled with memories of growing up with a father who was as demanding as any NFL coach, his near-constant fight to keep his intensity and competitiveness in check in high school and college, and his celebrated nine seasons with the Patriots.
