Following three seasons of little production and a redshirt year, Gus Edwards transferred to Rutgers to finally take on a lead role for a team’s backfield. Playing behind an average offensive line, Edwards was good-not-great, rushing for 713 yards and six touchdowns on 4.3 yards per carry.
Although his college production leaves a lot to be desired, Edwards has the height-weight-speed (6-1/229 pounds/4.52 40-yard dash) of a successful NFL running back and could hear his name called during the 2018 NFL Draft’s seventh and final round. At a minimum, he’ll land in a team’s rookie camp and have the opportunity to push on from there.
