Former NFL and New England Patriots star Julian Edelman has been one of many former players that has spoke out against the documentary ‘The Dynast’. Specifically, Edelman sounded off on one of former teammates for how he portrayed the relationship between Aaron Hernandez and head coach Bill Belichick. Edelman went as far as to call his former teammate a liar and that he just said these things because of his hatred towards Belichick.
Julian Edelman Calls Wes Welker A Liar On His Podcast
In his latest episode of “Games With Names” podcast, Edelman brought on Matthew Slater and they talked at length about the documentary. Edelman alleged that Wes Welker lied about Belichick being too nice to Hernandez and that he let the former tight end do and say whatever he wanted at practice. Edelman claimed that the lies came from the fact that Welker hates Belichick.
“Welker’s out here saying like Aaron Hernandez got away with murder — figuratively speaking — at practice; that’s not even true,” Edelman said. “Welker painted the picture he [Hernandez] was like the king, like he got to do anything.
“I remember Bill motherf—–g Aaron all the time. Come on, Welk. Trying to make up stories. We know you don’t like Bill.”
Julian has his own personal memories of Belichick laying into Aaron, so in his mind he knows that Welker is lying. Welker was quoted in the doc saying:
“I remember thinking like, ‘Why does he [Belichick] love this guy?’ I don’t get it. I don’t get it. But when you’re that talented, a lot of people put up with a lot of stuff.”
Many NFL Players Took Issue With ‘Dynasty’ Documentary
In addition to Edelman calling out the Wes Welker, he also took major shots with Matthew Stafford at the documentary as a whole. Many of the former players felt that it was a real hit piece on Belichick and they felt like they were swindled into doing the documentary in the first place.
Edelman went on in candid fashion about the documentary as a whole and he feels about his former coach Belichick.
“I honestly think if you’re in your 30s and you’ve played football, I don’t think you’ve ever liked your football coach. You loved him. But you didn’t like your football coach. Just like I didn’t like my parents when they made me do things that they knew was gonna make me a better person. I didn’t like doing it, we didn’t like doing it, work’s not easy, doing the little [expletive] for preparation, doing walkthroughs for walkthroughs for walkthroughs, I hated it. I [expletive] about it all the time. But we needed it. And that’s why you went into every single game knowing you out prepared that team and you have a shot to win. Every single game.”
