At 5’10 and under 200lbs, Edelman was something of a “scrappy little nobody” that relied more on his short-area quickness, overall guile and football IQ, and great chemistry with quarterback Tom Brady to become the pesky slot receiver we know him as today. Of course, how much his success can be attributed to performance-enhancing drugs (PED’s), for which he was busted in 2018, is now up for question.
