Armanti Edwards thought he was through with football.
In August 2014, after he got fired from an NFL team for the third time, Edwards decided that was it.
As a quarterback, the former Appalachian State legend had led the Mountaineers to two national titles as well as the biggest upset in school history on a remarkable day at Michigan in 2007. But Edwards never successfully made the transformation to NFL wide receiver after the Carolina Panthers had traded up into the third round to draft Edwards in 2010 – giving up their 2011 second-round pick to do so.
