During college, Edwards started eating breakfast and gained 20 pounds in his first six months. By August 2016, Edwards had grown to 275 pounds.[1] After his Sophomore season, Edwards was named to the AFCA First-team All-American.[2] Edwards considered declaring for the 2018 NFL draft, but eventually decided against it. One factor that swayed Edwards was a talk with Wisconsin alumnus and Cleveland Browns player Joe Thomas, who told Edwards that he would remember his final year at Wisconsin more than his rookie season in the NFL.[3] Prior to the 2018 season, Edwards was named pre-season second-team All-American by Sporting News,[4] Sports Illustrated,[5] and the Associated Press.[6] Edwards was also named a first-team All-American by Athlon Sports.[7] On January 1, 2019, Edwards announced that he would forgo his final year of eligibility and declare for the 2019 NFL Draft.[8]
