Tom Brady was a little preoccupied with other matters on Thursday, so it would be up to another Patriot to fill the internet’s need for amusing Patriots Throwback Thursday content.
Luckily, Julian Edelman was more than prepared for this Throwback Thursday.
The Patriots wide receiver posted a video entitled “Growing Pats,” a Patriots-themed homage/parody of Growing Pains which shows members of the Patriots as kids, teenagers and adults. Edelman found great footage of Tom Brady, Shane Vereen, Rob Gronkowski and even Bill Belichick to include in his video (photos of a young Bill Belichick will never not be funny). If you need a break from Deflate-Gate, this is well worth your time.
