Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Edwards has very good vision and a knack for picking out cut-back lanes and then breaking offchunks of yardage.
  • An excellent blocker on the outside, Edwards also adds value in the running game.
  • Edwards is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
  • Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
  • He’s not a burner, and he is more of a block-what’s-given runner than a guy who is going to create.
  • Not truly explosive, but possesses enough speed to beat linebacker to the edge.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • His speed is decent, but he’s not a home run hitter at the next level.
  • Edwards really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
  • Edwards does most of his work on the perimeter — and ran a lot of fly sweeps
