Scouting Notes

Edwards is a well-traveled sixth-year QB1 (Maryland to Wisconsin to UNC) whose best tape is a 2,881-yard, 15-TD 2024 at Maryland before a knee injury wiped out his 2025 Wisconsin season. He's a competent, experienced bridge starter — the QB premium lives in his range, not the headline grade. No real draft buzz; he profiles as a UDFA/camp arm who needs a big, healthy Belichick year to change that.
