Top 5 Answers From Julian Edelman's Reddit AMA

BOSTON (CBS) -- Can Rob Gronkowski read? Like, English? Julian Edelman would neither confirm nor deny it.

The Patriots wide receiver hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit Tuesday night. For the uninitiated, AMAs are meant for athletes, celebrities, and famous people from all walks of life to connect with fans and people with interesting questions - and as the name suggests, you can ask them anything you want.

So of course, things got a little goofy with Edelman, who offered a mix of serious and tongue-in-cheek responses to the top questions. For Patriots fans, Edelman's best answer was to a Jacksonville Jaguars fan who asked him why he doesn't do touchdown dances: "I celebrate with my teammates". But Edelman showed his funny side as well.

Edelman also listed his top 5 wide receivers in the league: Odell Beckham Jr., Jordy Nelson, Steve Smith Sr., Julio ("is a beast") Jones, and Demariyus Thomas, in no particular order. He also listed his pump-up music and it's all over the map, ranging from Drake and Jay-Z to AC/DC and Kings of Leon to "chill house" dance music.

Here are the 5 best questions & answers Edelman brought to Reddit Tuesday night.
