Patriots’ Wide Receiver Julian Edelman to Miss Entire 2017 Season
Philip Calhoun leverages over 18 years of experience as a production plant manager to oversee safety and lead manufacturing innovation projects, such as the development of vehicle personalization centers, as an executive vice president of Total Quality Engineering Inc. A former semi-professional football player in Canada, Philip Calhoun enjoys following the New England Patriots, which ties with the Dallas Cowboys as his favorite NFL team.
The Patriots have won two of the past three Super Bowls, victories to which Julian Edelman has contributed substantially. The 6-foot, 198-pound wide receiver (WR) recorded a combined 2,770 receiving yards in the past three regular seasons and 776 receiving yards in eight playoff games. However, if the team is going to win its third Super Bowl in four years, it will have to do so without Julian Edelman, who suffered an ACL tear in his right knee in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
The 32-year-old WR injured his knee on a non-contact play after making his third catch of the game and limped off the field. Shortly after the injury, the Patriots confirmed that he would be out for the duration of the 2017 season. His absence means that the team's offense will have to rely heavily on Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan, and recent acquisition Brandin Cooks.

Patriots Win ESPY for Best Game
With more than 25 years of industrial leadership experience, Philip Calhoun serves as executive vice president at Total Quality Engineering. Outside of his professional pursuits, Philip Calhoun enjoys watching one of his favorite National Football League (NFL) teams, the New England Patriots.
Led by quarterback Tom Brady, the Patriots won their fifth Super Bowl in 16 seasons in 2016 after beating the Atlanta Falcons. Even more impressive than the team's total number of championships is how New England rallied to win the Super Bowl in 2016. At one point in the game, the Patriots were behind by 25 points.
At the end of the third quarter, New England trailed 28-9, but the team scored a field goal and two touchdowns, including one with 57 seconds left in regulation, sending the game to overtime. Running back James White secured the come-from-behind victory with a two-yard score with 11:02 remaining in overtime.
The impressive comeback earned the Patriots the Best Game award at the 25th annual ESPY Awards, which were hosted by former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, a longtime rival of the Patriots.
