Give Julian Edelman an Oscar right now -- the former Patriots receiver showed off his acting chops in New England's schedule release video on Wednesday ... and he had help from his good buddy, Rob Gronkowski!!
The Pats went all-out ahead of the 2024 season ... doing their own spin on the classic 1997 film, "Good Will Hunting," to reveal their slate of opponents -- calling it "Good Jules Hunting."
Edelman plays Matt Damon's genius janitor role in New England's version .
