Julian Edelman part 3

Yet another post on New England's undertalented wide receiver

This is the last thing I’ll post on Julian Edelman for a while. Promise. We’re all getting tired of him.

Bill Rehor, Justin Howe and a host of other guys simply don’t like him, and that’s fine.

But here are the catch rates for the 37 wide receivers last year who had at least 100 passes thrown to them. That’s our boy, the former Kent State quarterback, up in the No. 1 spot.
