Julian Edelman has not yet been asked to attend any defensive meetings during OTAs. Edelman played as a slot corner in eight regular season games and two in the postseason. “At this point, I have not,” said Edelman. Edelman's future on defense will likely be on an as-needed basis. “All I can do is just worry on trying to learn the receiver position and whatever they want me to do on any other phase of the game,” Edelman said.
