11/20 @Ohio State Loss 37-21 Rec: 11 Receiving Yards: 172 YAC: 15.6 TD: 1
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 206 lbs
Hometown: Detroit, MI
Scouting Report:
After four years at the University of Michigan, Edwards has proven himself to be at the top of the '05 wide receiver class. Edwards has an explosive combination of size and speed that allow him to dominate the opposition any time he steps on the field.
This Wolverine has the strength and quickness to shed initial contact in press coverage but still needs to improve his hand and footwork off the line. Coordinators attempted to be physical with him, but most didn't have the personnel to do so.
Once past the second level, Edwards is nearly unstoppable; his speed directly results in separation from defensive backs. His body control and leaping ability allow him to shield off defenders while making the reception. He is also an accomplished route runner who knows how to break a defensive back's hips in coverage. He is also an adequate blocker.
On the downside, scouts have pointed to Edwards tendencies to pay less attention to detail in the past. He has been known to drop catchable passes on occasion and clearly needs to develop more consistency to become an elite NFL receiver. Braylon also has family lineage that doesn't exactly damage his stock; his father, Stanley, played in the NFL with the Oilers and Lions from 1982-87.
