Braylon Edwards

Braylon Jamel Edwards (born February 21, 1983 in Detroit, Michigan) is a current American football player who was selected third overall in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. His father, Stanley, played football at the University of Michigan (1977-81) and in the NFL with the Houston Oilers (1982-86) and Detroit Lions (1987). A wide receiver, Edwards followed his father's footsteps at Michigan, where he set several school records. These include season records for receptions (97) and yards (1,330), and career records for receptions (252), yards (3,541) and touchdowns (39). (The latter is also a Big Ten Conference career record.) Edwards also set the UM record for the most 100 plus yard games at 16. Edwards is the only wide receiver in Big Ten history (and third in NCAA Division I-A) to gain 1,000 or more receiving yards in three consecutive years. In 2004, Edwards won the Fred Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation's top college football wide receiver.
