I have long been an advocate of aesthetically blessed sports people treating us to photos of themselves with super cute small animals and Julian Edelman is latest to indulge us with this treat. 

Clearly this is an opportunity to revist some past favourites, like Gronk with a kitten on his head. 

Or Gronk trying not to have his nose clawed off by a kitten

Or Nathan Baker with puppies 

And of course we can't forget the king of photos with small animals, Zoltan Mesko
