Julian Edelman is no stranger to performing under pressure. However, before taking the microphone during Netflix’ “The Roast of Tom Brady” on Sunday, the former Patriots wide receiver admitted to experiencing a bout of stage fright.
“All the athletes were pretty nervous,” Edelman said on FOX’s “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” Thursday. “Just because you’re gonna get on stage, you’re gonna talk in front of a whole lot of people, and you’re also talking with professionals. Or going against professionals — these guys do this for a living, they’re comics.”
So Edelman, never one to be outshined — especially by his former teammates — took his comedy prep to the next level.
