New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is set to graduate from Kent State on Saturday, 10 years after he left the school for the NFL in 2009.
Edelman, 32, played quarterback at Kent State before being drafted by the Patriots in the seventh round of the 2009 draft (232 overall).
He has three Super Bowl rings with the Patriots, and was MVP of this year’s game, with 10 catches for 141 yards.
This Saturday, I will be walking with my fellow Kent State graduates. Completing what I started back in 06. I want to set a great example for my daughter, and complete a promise I made to my parents over 10 years ago. To my fellow Golden Flash graduates, Congratulations! #LetsGo pic.twitter.com/4aWQwEDPnF
