Julian Edelman praises Patriots' A.J. Brown acquisition
Summary

Julian Edelman expressed enthusiasm for A.J. Brown joining the New England Patriots after the team acquired him from the Philadelphia Eagles. During an appearance on 'The Herd with Colin Cowherd,' Edelman shared that he believes Brown's arrival will benefit the entire receiving group, as he recalls the positive influence of Randy Moss on his own early career. Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, will wear No. 1 instead of No. 11 in respect to Edelman, who once held that record for the Patriots. Edelman does not expect Brown to replicate Moss's record-setting season but acknowledges the impact he can have on teammates’ performance.
