Throughout his NFL career, Edelman played in 137 career games. He played all of those games with New England, being one of the few players who started and ended his career with the same franchise.
In those appearances, Edelman racked up 620 receptions for 6,822 yards and 36 touchdowns. He was a favorite target for the legendary Tom Brady.
To get into the Patriots' Hall of Fame, Edelman was selected over kicker Adam Vinatieri and offensive lineman Logan Mankins, who both also deserve the honor at some point in time.
This is a massive honor for Edelman and a true testament to the career he put together. He was never the best player in New England, but he was a consistent presence who contributed in a huge way to the dynasty the Patriots built.
