Often overlooked due to having a reputation for running in touchdowns from close range rather than going on spectacular solo runs, Liberia-born running back Edwards deserves praise for being one of the most effective finishers in the NFL and one of his continent’s best representatives. With 13 touchdowns, he was tied-fifth in the league this season.
