Draft Profile: South Carolina WR Bryan Edwards
28 January 2020 DRAFT
Bryan Edwards 2020 NFL Draft Profile
Measureables: 6’3″ 215 LBs
Here is another South Carolina WR ready to take his talents to the NFL. Edwards has all of the looks physically at 6’3″ 215 and he is as agile as they come in the open field. There are questions about his toughness while disengaging from DBs, also there are question marks on him not being able to ID the ball early enough on deep balls. He has all of the physical tools to be an NFL WR, but he is not a finished project just yet. With the right fit, a year in the slot or behind a vet, Edwards could transcend to a great talent in the league.
