Patriots fans erupt as Julian Edelman links with Daniel Jones at Giants camp - "Edelnut what the f**k are you doing"

Julian Edelman has had a successful career with the New England Patriots. He won three Super Bowl titles with the AFC East squad and was the Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl LIII. Those credentials made him a member of the Patriots’ All-2010s Team.

Now that he has retired as a player, he continues to impart football wisdom to players seeking advice. However, he must have riled Patriots fans after appearing at the New York Giants training camp for the 2023 NFL season.

Julian Edelman draws the ire of Patriots fans after visiting Giants camp

In his Instagram account, Edelman shared photos of him talking to Giants head coach Brian Daboll and quarterback Daniel Jones. While the nature of his visit remains a secret, he was intently looking at the team’s practice and ready to give pointers.

Julian Edelman’s interaction with the Giants had one Patriots fan furiously commenting:

“Edelnut what the f**k are you doing”

As the last commenter remembered, the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots twice during the Tom Brady era. In Julian Edelman’s defense, he wasn’t a Patriots player when the Giants thwarted New England’s hopes for a perfect season in Super Bowl XLII.

The former Kent State standout joined the Patriots as a seventh-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Therefore, he was already with the team when Eli Manning and company defeated them again in Super Bowl XLVI. The Philadelphia Eagles were the other team to beat the Patriots with Brady as their starter in the Super Bowl.

New England’s two Super Bowl defeats against the Giants are still fresh in Patriots fans’ memories. That’s why they have difficulty processing one of their legends helping a team that tormented them twice.

However, conspiracy theorists might jump into the thought process of the commenters who speculated that Edelman is “scouting for the Patriots.” After all, the two teams will face in Week 12 at MetLife Stadium.

Julian Edelman’s former team has fallen on hard times

The Patriots are the only team Julian Edelman played for in his 12-season NFL career. He played his final year in 2020 when the team finished 7-9 with former NFL MVP Cam Newton as their starting quarterback.

Since then, the Patriots have had one winning season (10-7 in 2021) followed by another losing cause (8-9 last year). New England hasn’t won a playoff game since 2019.

The team’s recent struggles must have some Patriots fans longing to have the glory days back.
