The AFC & NFC Championship Game matchups are all set, with the New England Patriots taking on the Denver Broncos this Sunday at 3PM, and the Carolina Panthers taking on the Arizona Cardinals later on that day at 6:40 PM. Both of these matchups will be close, gritty affairs with tons of offense and defenses rallying to make one last standoff before the clock winds down. With that in mind, comes my annual special detailing the music tastes of some of your favorite players. We're going around to individual players from each team involved to get a better sense of their personality, and how it translates well both on and off the field. And without further ado, here we go!
Julian Edelman (New England Patriots)
The muscular and beautifully bearded wide receiver is back in action after missing the last 8 weeks of the regular season with a broken foot, and is ready to help his band of brothers get back to the promised land and defend their Super Bowl crown from last season. All it takes to get that offensive machine rolling is health, which is something the Pats have struggled with for a majority of the season. As long as Julian and the offensive line stay healthy, the Pats will be very lethal and dangerous in the postseason. Here are some music selections from his playlist:
Young Money & Drake - Trophies
Mike Stud - Out Here
Eminem & Nate Dogg - Til I Collapse
Kid Cudi - Soundtrack 2 My Life
Wale - Double M Genius
Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals)
The longtime wide receiver for the Cardinals who delivered a huge performance this past weekend over the Packers in OT sets up for what should be an interesting postseason for the 32 year old. One of the most classy and respected players in the league, Larry is leering at a return appearance to the Super Bowl, and is hoping to come up on the winning side this time and ready to help his team deliver big plays in the clutch. His playlist consists of:
Sherpas Cinema - All I Can
Coldplay - Midnight
Andreas Moe - Ocean
The Weeknd - The Hills
Sub Focus - Safe in Sound
Luke Kuechly (Carolina Panthers)
The jacked linebacker for the Panthers has some roots here in the local area as he went to school at Boston College. Growing up in Cincinnati, Luke was always destined for a career in the NFL, and while at BC he set records for tackles that still stand to this day, and more records for tackles here in the NFL. Recently having signed a monster 5 year, $62 million extension with Carolina, Luke will be a fan favorite down in Charlotte for some time to come. Below are some of his music choices:
AWOLNation - Sail
Eminem - Superman
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become
P.O.D. - Boom
