New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman isn't the biggest guy. He stands at just 5-foot-10 and 198 pounds, but when you watch him play, it's impossible to question his toughness.
Edelman tallied nine receptions for a team-high 151 receiving yards in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium. The excellent performance drew plenty of praise, including from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who called the veteran wideout one of the toughest players in team history.
NFL Films tweeted a video Tuesday of Edelman talking with some Chargers players and head coach Anthony Lynn during Sunday's game. Watch the 32-year-old wide receiver make fun of his height and give out some compliments in the video below.
Edelman is among the best playoff performers in the NFL. In fact, he's averaging 8.3 receptions and 101.6 yards over his last 10 playoff games.
The Patriots didn't have Edelman during last season's run to the Super Bowl because he was recovering from a torn ACL in his knee. His presence in New England's offense is a huge upgrade for this season's playoff run, and that was quite evident Sunday.
