Edelman caves, promotes 'Minitron' swag on website

BY DAN BEGNOCHE

New England Patriots utility man Julian Edelman had a huge game Sunday against the Denver Broncos, accounting for two of the team’s five touchdowns in their 43-21 victory.

Now it’s time to see how much of an impact Mintron’s performance will have on the apparel sales on his website.

According to the Boston Globe, Edelman has recently decided to take on the nickname donned by teammate Tom Brady nearly a year ago, recently releasing a shirt that pays homage to the Transformer-esque moniker. The shirt, better displayed here, shows the throwback Patriots logo as one of the robotic figures.

The shirt isn't currently listed on Edelman's site, but we're guessing if he continues to put forth performances like he did on Sunday, they'll certainly be back in stock soon.

Riding a five-game winning streak and currently leading the team in targets and receptions, Edelman and the Pats are on their bye week in Week 10 before heading to Indianapolis to face the Colts.
