Julian Edelman is busy these days. The Patriots wide receiver is out promoting a new documentary on Showtime about his life and his journey back from major knee surgery and NFL suspension to become the MVP of Super Bowl LIII.

But Edelman isn’t too busy to notice what the Jets are doing. The arrival of new head coach Adam Gase and All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell has caught his attention.

“They’ve got some new coaches and some really dynamic players and a young quarterback,” Edelman told The Post on Monday.

“They also have a defense that for some reason does real well against us. People ask me when I’m in New York about the Giants and the Jets. Those teams have always played us well. Now the Jets have Gase and he’s got some blueprints from Miami, where he beat us. It’s going to be a tough matchup.”

Time will tell whether the Jets have moved any closer toward actually competing with the Patriots for the AFC East title. For now, Edelman is still reliving a season that began shrouded with uncertainty and embarrassment and ultimately ended with him winning one of the most coveted awards in football.

The documentary “100% Julian Edelman” will premiere at 8 p.m. Friday on Showtime. It begins with Edelman suffering a torn right anterior cruciate ligament during a preseason game in 2017 that cost him the entire season. There is video of Edelman heading to surgery, then post-surgery and throughout the grueling rehab process away from his team and his sport.

“You’re in a lonely spot,” Edelman says in the film. “I knew it was going to be a long road.”

The film — narrated by Michael Rapaport and including comments by Tom Brady, Snoop Dogg, Michael Strahan and Deion Sanders — also addresses the four-game suspension Edelman received to start the 2018 season after violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

“I put myself in this situation,” he says in the film. “I screwed up.”

And, of course, there’s the whole on-the-field comeback story and helping the Patriots reach Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, where they defeated the Rams 13-3 as Edelman caught 10 passes for 141 yards and was named the MVP.

The real story of the film is Edelman’s relationship with his father, Frank, who started grooming his son to be a football star almost before he could walk. It was a tough-love approach by a blue-collar dad that paid off.

“He would push me and I’d get so pissed off,” Edelman says in the film, adding, “Everyone was terrified of Frank.”

You get the feeling the 5-foot-10 Edelman would have never made it from junior college football to being the 232nd pick in the draft to winning three Super Bowls if it wasn’t for Frank.

“He’s the maker,” Edelman said. “I wouldn’t be where I am without him.”

It was his dad who was his coach again during Edelman’s suspension and it was his dad who cheered from the stands in Atlanta as his son became the Super Bowl MVP.

“I’ve had to work for everything I’ve gotten,” Edelman said. “I was never the high draft pick. I was never supposed to make the team. I just worried about what I had to do to earn a role and improve myself. It’s a testament to how my dad raised me.”

A cynic might suggest the documentary could be called “From PEDs to the Podium.” But that would deliver the wrong message. Edelman admits he might have benefited from four more weeks of preparation before returning to the field, but regrets the suspension.

“100 percent,” he told The Post.

That’s why the toughest call Edelman had to make last year was to his father, informing him of his suspension. Their daily conversations ended for a bit.

“Frank was upset,” Edelman said. “After that we didn’t talk for a while.”

But it was Frank who ultimately got his son ready for his comeback season and another run at a Super Bowl.

“You made it,” he tells his son long before they would get to Atlanta.

A sequel would be hard to achieve, though Edelman is up for the task.

He’ll be entering his 11th NFL season and is hoping to get through it without any major injuries or concussions.

“I know what I signed up for,” he said. “Obviously, there’s going to be risk involved with any kind of contact sport like hockey, rugby or even soccer. I still love football and what happens, happens.”
