Many speedsters have a fantastic top speed, but take quite a while to reach that speed. Those are the "slow 4.40 runners" that have made us scratch our heads wondering why they looked so slow on the field.
We've had plenty of them in the past, and I remember Ryan Grant and Dwight Ellick on the team at the same time, being two of the fastest track guys as well. Unfortunately, those guys didn't exactly show that great speed on the football field (or at least Grant lost his when he got hurt in 2002).
Edwards doesn't have that issue. He's got a great 1st gear and a very high top speed. He doesn't need much space to get to top speed, and can get there in a hurry. He also seems to have excellent field vision.
We need him, plain and simple, and having him in on the field can change an entire defense's game plan.
That reminds me of some guy who wore #25 a long time ago and... Nah... Won't say it.
Incredible acceleration, great top speed
