CHATHAM, Mass. — This great white shark goes long.
A shark conservation group says it's named a shark after New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy said Friday it named the shark "Jules" for its wily moves. The Cape Cod-based group says it originally tagged the male in 2011, but he shook the tag.
Jules was retagged on Tuesday.
"Like Edelman, he dropped his coverage and his squirrelly behavior made it hard to get a new tag in him," the group said on Twitter.
