Wes Welker explains "Single White Female" situation between Edelman, Tom Brady

Inside the Mind of Tom Brady | NFL Films

Before there was Julian Edelman and Tom Brady, there was Wes Welker and Tom Brady. On Tuesday, Welker appeared in studio with Toucher and Rich of CBS Sports radio"s WBZ. Among the topics covered: Edelman inserting himself into any and all situations involving the Patriots quarterback.

Remember when Brady met with Kevin Durant to try to convince him to join the Celtics? A day later, Edelman"s on Instagram wearing a Durant Celtics jersey -- even though no one asked him his thoughts on the matter. Then there"s Brady"s brand -- TB12. A short time later, Edelman released JE11.

"So is there a Single White Female situation?" co-host Rich Shertenlieb asked Welker.

Before the former Pats wideout answered, co-host Fred "Toucher" Toettcher added, "Is there something going on where Edelman is looking up to Brady a great deal?"

"Uh, yeah," Welker said. "I mean, it"s a little too obvious. ... I think it"s been noticed."

Welker went on to explain the relationship in terms of name brand and off-brand medication.

"It"s like going and getting Advil, and then there"s like the Walgreen"s prescription next to it," he said.

Or, as Shertenlieb said between laughs, "So you"re saying [Edelman] is the general version; less potent, less powerful."

Welker was asked if he"s ever had to tell Edelman to dial back the Brady love because he was laying it on too thick.

"Yeah, but to his credit, he admits it a lot of time."

"If Tom Brady asked Julian Edelman to commit a crime, do you think he would do it for him?" Shertenlieb asked.

Welker"s response: "Probably so."

Make fun of Edelman all you want, but the man knows where to hitch his wagon; he was an integral part of the Patriots" Super Bowl XLIX win, and when he"s healthy he"s one of the league"s best slot receivers.

But yeah, Edelman really does find new and inventive ways to insert himself into situations that also includes Brady. The latest: Brady and Justin Timberlake were spotted having a grand time at UFC 200. Not to be outdone, Edelman later tweeted a photo of Brady and Timberlake -- and Photoshopped himself into the fun because, well, that"s apparently his thing.
