Julian Edelman to graduate from Kent State on Saturday

Saturday will be a special day for Julian Edelman.

The 32-year-old Patriots wide receiver will graduate from Kent State and fulfill a promise he made to his parents more than a decade ago. Edelman, who played quarterback at Kent State, left the school for the NFL in 2009.

The three-time Super Bowl champion made the announcement about his upcoming graduation on Twitter, writing that he wants to "set a great example" for his daughter:

Congratulations, Jules.
