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.
