New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is a two-time Super Bowl champion and the recent recipient of a long-overdue apology from a former teacher.

Edelman tweeted out on Tuesday morning a letter written to him on June 14, 2017. It was addressed from his English teacher from the spring of 2006 and included an apology for a remark he made after Edelman confidently stated he was "going to the league." Read on.
