•NFL player to drive pace car at New Hampshire: Julian Edelman does it all for the New England Patriots. A highly-productive receiver and return man since joining the three-time Super Bowl champions as a seventh-round pick in 2009, Edelman even saw action on defense in 2011. Well, he can now add another title to the many hats he has worn: Official NASCAR Pace Car Driver. The 5-foot-10 star wideout for the Patriots will trade his receiving gloves for driving gloves as he gets behind the wheel of the Official NASCAR 2014 Toyota Camry SE Pace Car, leading the field for the start of the Camping World RV Sales 301 Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on July 13.(NHMS)(7-8-2014)

Cool (and inspirational) video with Julian. "Only Two Things You Can Do." Really speaks to not only Julian, but to most all the other KSU alums who make it at the next level.

Looks like Julian will be ready for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Glad to hear Julian took time off to recover from the concussion.

Josh Kline will most likely be part of the offensive line rotations too.

Julian Edelman's first career throw is a 51 yard TD!

With Pees coaching Baltimore's defense, I'm wondering who recruited Julian; Pees or Martin? The years are starting to blur together.

It was Doug Martin.

And in typical classy Edelman fashion, he gives credit to Doug Martin and KSU after the game.

Your serve Joshua Cribbs. It's your turn for a former KSU QB turned returner/receiver to throw for a touchdown!

That was his first pass in an actual game since his last game for Kent against Buffalo.

Former KSU QB Showdown in the AFC Championship next week. Edelman vs. Cribbs

Has anyone noticed the guns on that man. Someone has been living in the weight room ....... or the pharmacy.

I caught that on the postgame as well - he thanked Martin and his fellow Golden Flashes - classy! Josh Kline played fairly well at guard when the NE center was injured.

Just saw a story that Edelman refuses to get any of his friends and relatives a ticket for the Super Bowl. He doesn't want to get distracted and change his routine. I hope his mother, father and any siblings are exceptions.
