Who is the NFL player you compare yourself the most to? Why is that?
TJ Edwards is known for his leadership qualities, leading by example, putting in the time and work on and off the field, and embodying a hardworking approach to football. He wasn’t a highly-announced recruit coming out of high school but worked his way into having an impressive college career and now an NFL career.
What aspects of playing in the NFL do you find to be intriguing?
The challenge of playing against great competitors and teams. The challenges I would go through on the field will build me as a person off the field—the opportunity to leave a legacy.
In what ways have you improved since last season?
Playing at a faster speed. Being able to diagnose plays and using my leverage to make plays.
What is your favorite memory so far as a college football player?
Being able to create strong bonds and brotherhood with my teammates. Each year progressing and developing as a football player. Just simply always being able to find a way.
What is the most important thing you would like NFL scouts, coaches and general managers to know about you?
I want to learn from everybody in the building in every aspect – life, being a man, and becoming a better football player every day. I am accountable and reliable while possessing strong character and leadership qualities, and eager to learn and adapt to new schemes (coachable).
