MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin left tackle David Edwards summed up his startling and unorthodox ascension in the Badgers' football program with one humorous tweet on national signing day last month.
Ah yes..signing day.. remember it like yesterday. Played QB in high school, signed as a tight end but now I play tackle at 300 pounds. Sad!

Edwards' story in a nutshell: After totaling more than 2,000 yards of offense as a veer option quarterback for Downers Grove North in Illinois, Wisconsin coaches thought he would make a skilled tight end prospect.
