Yes, speed is important but instinct and timing is more important. right and popular opinion was he wouldn't be good in the nfl because of his athletic ability. Outliers aren't good arguments.

You just added a second name in the past two decades like that somehow isn't an outlier. I have nothing against edwards but he is what he is a role player.

Not compelling because it doesnt fit your narrative. Taking tackles as a barometer- of the top 10 tackle leaders- 9 are are LB and of those 9- 8 have a combine profiles- 4 of the players have very similiar profiles to TJ- I dont see tackle leaders on any team as just role players. I am not saying TJ is a pro bowler but he is definitely more than a role player Edited June 7, 2020 by byrdbrane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No- I dont think its obvious because he can cover RB- I dont have sample size on whether he can cover TE well enough but think what you want- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I like TJ Edwards and am excited to see what he can do, but I wouldn't be against bringing in someone else for that spot either. I think Edwards going undrafted in 2019 was very questionable, he was a guy I was familiar with at Wisconsin and thought he could have been as high as a 4th-5th round pick.
