Julian Edelman Joins Fox Sports
Julian Edelman is so back. The former legendary Patriots wide receiver has agreed to a deal with Fox Sports. Edelman will join the “Fox NFL Kickoff” for the upcoming season.
“It’s not just the fact that he’s done TV, it’s that he’s taken such an interest, even toward the end of his playing career,” said Brad Zager, Fox Sports executive producer and president of production & operations . “He’s somebody that’s so engaging when you talk to him in person, or when you see the clips of him doing TV or doing these podcasts as he’s done. He’s also gained the credibility of fans with the teams that he was on.”
“When you have great franchises for so long and some of those guys’ careers have ended, it makes sense for them to be on TV,” Zager said. “If I was guessing, I would say you’d probably see something similar five years or more down the line with the Chiefs and some of their players. People become so familiar with them.”
Edelman becomes the second notable Patriot on Fox’s coverage. Rob Gronkowski also contributes to the Fox NFL Sunday” show. Edelman will now join the “Fox NFL Kickoff” show that also includes Charissa Thompson, Charles Woodson, Michael Vick, and Peter Schrager.
