Mike Edwards Drafted 99th Overall by the Tampa Bay Bucs

The Kentucky Badger was a three-year starter in Lexington. A versatile playmaker that lined up at safety and slot corner, Edwards opted to return for a senior season after he was a projected mid-round draft pick in 2018.

In his final year in Lexington, Edwards become just the second Kentucky defensive back to join the 300-Tackle Club. He finished his career with 318 tackles (19th in school history), 21 for loss, 23 pass break-ups and 10 interceptions. Edwards was a three-time All-SEC selection.

A significant portion of Edwards’ paycheck will be set aside for Skyline. The only thing the Badger loves more than hitting wide receivers is that sweet Cincinnati chili.
