96. South Carolina WR Bryan Edwards

Edwards is a guy who checks a lot of the boxes. Listed at 6-feet-3 and 215 pounds, he has prototypical size. On the tape, Edwards showcases technique, physicality and makes some ridiculous catches. He’s open even when he isn’t open, which makes him a quarterback’s best friend. From a stats standpoint, he just so happens to be the all-time leader in receptions (234) and receiving yards (3,045) for South Carolina.

Previously, Edwards was a player expected to be a pre-draft riser but circumstance has since worked against him. First, he pulled out of the Senior Bowl. Then he broke his foot while training and missed the NFL combine. It’s likely he won’t be ready to test at his pro day either. This has caused Edwards to fly under the radar and if he’s healthy it could make him a prime mid-round target for the Chiefs.
