This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke with retired New England Patriots legend Julian Edelman.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Edelman discussed the unveiling of the new 2027 INFINITI QX65, sharing his reaction to the Patriots reclaiming AFC supremacy over the Kansas City Chiefs last season.

“If you look at the seats, they’re insanely detailed. They look awesome. They look awesome, but they’re super comfortable. So a bug guy like ‘Gronk’ can sit in it, and it’s still functional,” said Edelman. Designed for the heart of the midsize luxury segment, QX65 reflects INFINITI’s legacy of challenging convention.
Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski and Edelman arrived on scene for the moment the covers came off the all-new 2027 INFINITI QX65. The longtime teammates chatted and walked through Grand Central Terminal in New York City during the reveal.
INFINITI dramatically revealed the all-new 2027 QX65 in a star-studded, one-of-a-kind moment at Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The all-new QX65, a daring two-row midsize luxury SUV that signals the next step in INFINITI’s ongoing product renaissance, made its first public appearance inside Vanderbilt Hall. Former pro athletes Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski and Julian Edelman arrived on scene for the moment the covers came off the all-new 2027 INFINITI QX65.
The Patriots returned to the Super Bowl last season for the first time since 2018, but lost to the Seattle Seahawks. Led by quarterback Drake Maye, New England became the first AFC Super Bowl representative since the 2021 season, replacing Kansas City.

“It’s been really, really awesome. They’ve done things that some of my teams just can never do, like winning in Denver on the road in the playoffs,” said Edelman, “Turning something around super quick with the young quarterback, new head coach, new design of what the team looks like. A lot of free agents and draft picks made the team. Rising tide lifts all boats when the Patriots are doing well, we’re all doing well.”
Kansas City and New England’s memorable battle in the AFC Championship during the 2018 season was viewed by many critics as the changing of the guard, even though the Chiefs were defeated at Arrowhead Stadium. The Patriots’ return to prominence is a return to the high standards set by Edelman and many former players.
“I tell you that a lot of that has to do with the ecosystem, the leadership of the team, Tom Brady’s, and Rob Gronkowski’s. When I was a younger player, the Teddy Bruschi’s, the Kevin Faulk’s, the way they practice and the way they show up to work every day.” said Edelman, “If you’re a guy that’s 53rd on the list trying to make the team, and you don’t put in that kind of effort, you’re going to look weird. When your highest-paid guy and your best football player are practicing their tail off every single day, you have no choice but to practice like that. I think the preparation process of going out and trying to win each day was the ultimate separator, and that was because of the leadership we had. Our best guys were doing that.”
