Julian Edelman grabs 500th career reception in Patriots' season-opener

A milestone for the Super Bowl LIII MVP.

During the New England Patriots' third offensive drive in their season-opener vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, wideout Julian Edelman grabbed his 500th career reception on a crossing route inside the Steelers' red-zone. Edelman now has 5,399 yards career yards as well. 

That is the first major regular-season milestone that Edelman has reached in his career, which can be added on to the monstrous postseason milestones he has already claimed, such as being 2nd all-time in playoff receptions (115).  

Edelman currently has one reception for nine yards in the season-opener vs. the Steelers.
