On a very special edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh reports from this past Friday’s “Touchdown in Israel III” event at the Kraft Family Sports Campus in Jerusalem. 16 current players and alumni from the New England Patriots were in Israel as part of the third installment of a VIP trip to Israel organized by Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft. Over the years Kraft has brought dozens of other NFL players to Israel including many Hall of Fame Players – some of the best to ever play the game. Hear from Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman, and several other Patriots players along with representatives from the American Football in Israel (AFI) league on this week’s unforgettable show.
