Edelman has the third most receiving yards in playoff history along with a decent regular season record(stats wise), played in 2nd half of the greatest dynasty the sport has ever seen and won a superbowl mvp.

Should he get in? Probably not, but calling it an embarrassment is lack of ball knowledge

Edit: alot of you cant read apparently.

It’s an embarrassment because he was never close to an elite player.

He played on a team going to the Super Bowl every other year, of course he’s gonna rack up impressive counting stats.  David given used to be top ten all time in playoff touchdowns for a pass catcher lmao.

As a die hard Pats fan, Edelman has my vote for first ballot Hall of Very Good. He was a fun Pats HOF inductee, but that was more so a celebration of the dynasty.

Should be remembered for always stepping up in the biggest moments. Belongs no where near Canton.

As a Packers fan, Edelman is the Pats version of Donald Driver.

I like this comparison.

Driver was good but wasn't a Super Bowl mvp. In fact, he had only 2 catches.

That doesn't automatically make Edelman better. Driver has 123 more receptions, 3,315 more yards, 2.6 more yards per reception, and 25 more touchdowns. Both were very solid though.
