Edwards' contested catch ability and explosive leaping offset his developmental route-running.

Edwards took a long road to the NFL via juco, a year at Hawaii, and finishing at Louisiana Tech. The source describes him as well put together with room for more muscle if needed. His Pro Day numbers show adequate speed and short area agility with good length, explosive leaping skills, and a strong upper body. At the college level, he was often used on tunnel and quick outside screens. On film, where he shines is contested catches.
