Position: Quarterback
School: Stanford
Status: Senior
Height: 6-4
Weight: 220
40-Yard Dash: 4.90 (EST)
Positives:
Trent Edwards possesses prototypical NFL size at 6-4, 230+ pounds, and has the ability to stand tall in the pocket to make every throw. Not afraid of taking a hit, he gives his receivers the extra split second they need to make their breaks.
He has more-than-adequate scrambling ability and can bootleg or escape the pocket to make a play. Teammates praise his leadership skills and competitiveness. Edwards finishes his Stanford career in the top 10 of every major passing statistic.
Negatives:
Edwards has had trouble keeping himself upright, partly due to a sub-par offensive line, but also because he holds on to the ball way too long in hopes of making a big play. He was getting sacked at a rate of almost four per game through the first half of the 2006 season, compiling an 0-6 record during that stretch.
Taking all those hits has lead to several injury problems during his career, including issues with his throwing shoulder during his sophomore season and missing the final five games of the 2006 season with a broken right foot. Decision making was also, clearly, a problem as his career passing percentage is around 54% with just three more touchdowns than interceptions in his 31 starts. Edwards has compiled a career record of only 11-20, appearing in 35 games.
Overview:
Coming into the 2006 season, Edwards was a popular choice as this year's Jay Culter. But a slow start coming out of the blocks, both in wins and loses as well as statistically, was causing his stock to fall long before the broken foot put him on the shelf for the remainder of the year. Edwards will be completely healthy, though, in time for the NFL Combine and could see a turn around in his fortune, if he can display the physical traits that impressed in the first place.
Edwards never did play in a bowl game or beat a team ranked in the top 25, so it's hard to say if he can shine on a big stage. He could be a capable back up in the NFL, though the high hopes at the beginning of the year that Edwards could be a first day pick should be put to rest.
