NFL Star Julian Edelman Touts 'Sleeper Pickz' for New Football Season
In a surprise move, three-time Super Bowl champion and former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman has partnered with sleep aid brand Unisom to promote his fantasy football picks this season. Dubbed "Sleeper Pickz," the initiative marks a departure from traditional draft strategies.
Edelman, 2018 Super Bowl MVP, revealed that he was drawn to the partnership due to his own struggles with sleep throughout his NFL career. "Good sleep is crucial for success on the field," Edelman said in an interview. "As a dad, sometimes when you're in the car all day, dropping and driving the kids around, you need quality sleep to be on top of your game."
The 35-year-old Edelman, who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots (XXXVI, XXXVIII, and LIII), has been open about his struggles with sleep. "I've always prioritized rest and recovery," he said. "But as a player, you're constantly pushing yourself to be better, and that can take a toll on your body."
Edelman's partnership with Unisom is not just about promoting the brand; it's also an opportunity for him to share his expertise with fantasy football enthusiasts. As a broadcaster and analyst, Edelman has become a respected voice in the NFL community.
"Sleeper Pickz" aims to provide fans with unique and under-the-radar picks for their fantasy teams. According to Unisom, the initiative will feature a series of articles, videos, and social media posts highlighting Edelman's top picks.
Edelman's involvement with Unisom is part of a larger trend in the NFL, where players are increasingly partnering with brands to promote products and services related to health and wellness.
The 2025 NFL season kicked off on September 10, with many teams still vying for a spot in the playoffs. Edelman's "Sleeper Pickz" initiative is sure to generate buzz among fantasy football enthusiasts, who will be eager to see which players he selects as his top picks.
