Welker: Edelman is the off-brand drug version of Brady

Whenever Tom Brady does something, Julian Edelman usually isn't far behind.

After the New England Patriots quarterback took part in the Boston Celtics' attempted recruitment of Kevin Durant, Edelman shared a photo of himself in a custom Celtics jersey. Edelman has even admitted to pretending to be Brady during recess in middle school.

Wes Welker, who played alongside Brady and Edelman for several seasons, was asked about their friendship during an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher and Rich show Tuesday and summed it up with an interesting analogy.

"I think it's like going and getting Advil, and then there's like the Walgreens prescription next to it," Welker said.

Edelman approved of Welker's comparison.
