Julian Edelman joins Colin Cowherd to discuss what he expects from Mike Vrabel in his first year as head coach of the New England Patriots and how the team approached the 2025 NFL Draft.
New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore was hit with a huge blow last year when he was diagnosed with blood clots.
His 2024 season was cut short, but the 2021 second-round pick received great news on Thursday.
Barmore was cleared for football activity, paving the way for a return to the gridiron later this year.

Barmore will be a full participant in voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) next week.
"Yeah. That's the goal. I just have to keep following the medical team, but everything is looking really well," Barmore said.
Barmore was initially diagnosed with the clots in July, but he was able to get back on the field in November. However, he only managed to play in just four games before hitting the non-football illness list.
"It was one of the hardest times. I felt like I did everything in my power, wanting to come back," Barmore said, via ESPN. "I don't want to ever be in that situation again, or anybody in the world to go through that. That stuff was no joke. It was a hard challenge."
