New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman has been on some kind of victory tour since leading the heralded AFC East franchise to yet another Super Bowl title. Earning MVP honors as a result of the Patriots' 13-3 Super Bowl LIII win over the upstart Los Angeles Rams, Edelman's latest feat was getting the 2019 installment of the famed Daytona 500 underway on Sunday afternoon.

In addition to snagging Super Bowl MVP honors and aiding NASCAR in starting one of the biggest races of the year, the veteran pass catcher also led the ceremonial puck drop at a Boston Bruins game earlier this month.

“Julian Edelman is an incredible addition to the list of pre-race dignitaries for the Daytona 500,” said Daytona International Speedway president Chip Wile, via NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk. “We're honored to have such a superb athlete, who recently won on NFL's biggest stage and was the Super Bowl MVP, wave the green flag for NASCAR's premier event.”

While the Patriots have now won two of the last three and three of the last five Super Bowls, Edelman was on-hand for quite the affair on Sunday afternoon. With a multitude of crashes and pile-ups ultimately making for a crazy race at Daytona, this year's winner is Denny Hamlin, who managed to escape the race unharmed — which could not be said for the majority of the field.
