Daijun Edwards Summary:
The Positives
- Great at keeping legs churning and pushing piles
- Pretty good elusiveness (especially compared to others in this class)
- Has great vision on some runs
- Bounces around with the ball in his hands (making him very hard to tackle)
- Good power/elusiveness combo
- Athleticism is good but not elite
The Negatives
- Has really bad vision on some runs
- Takes runs outside at times that he should not
- Limited pass catching experience (though looks capable)
- Has not been a full time lead back in college yet
Controversial having Edwards ranked this high, we know. But in a class full of underwhelming, overhyped prospects (our opinion), Edwards stands out. Most of the big names in this class are power backs who lack the ability to make people miss, that is not Edwards. He possesses the power, but also has a bouncing running style that very few in this class have. Daijun has limited pass catching experience, but looks capable in the few reps. We see him taking a massive leap this year and would not be surprised if he is the latest Georgia back taken in the first 3 rounds of the NFL Draft.
