New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman delivered on a promise he made to his parents and graduated from college on Saturday.
The three-time Super Bowl champion received his degree at the commencement ceremony at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio.
Edelman was wearing the traditional cap and gown. He took the stage and embraced the school’s president, Beverly Warren, who then handed the NFL star his diploma.
The Pats star who has emerged as one of Tom Brady’s favorite targets left college early in 2009 to declare for the NFL draft.
