Wow you‘re taking me back, forgot about that one as well! Covington threw that across his body from what our own 15-20 to Santana for the TD! UCLA came out blazing at the beginning of second half, can’t believe we came back. That squad, Al Blades, Dan Morgan, Santana, EReed, Edge…..ah man, great memories.
Many of us thought he should be drafted ahead of Williams.
In that Shannon Sharpe interview he said football was never difficult for him until he tore his ACL. Said he put the work in but it all came easy to him. That’s crazy to think about for what he accomplished up to that point.
Does Edge’s son also play football? Either way, he needs to be a Cane bball or football.
Nope, not that one. He has a younger son who was a freshman who does though.
I remember when he was selected over Williams.
The year he left Indy, we won the ship lol. Edge was invited to Indy's team locker room during the Super Bowl in Miami. He was given a SB ring a few weeks later as a gift from Irsay. Irsay also inducted him into the Hall of Fame. Dem two is tight. A lot of people dont know Edge's nickname was "sweet feet" lol. He was my idol when i played rb in my days, graduated in 01. I wore #5 for Edge, and wrote sweet feet on my nike vapor d's lmao.
It was incredible to see. My kids are in their early 20’s and just don’t understand what it was like. That performance alone was enough to make you a fan for a long time.
I was also at that game with a friend. After the first few carries by Edge, I told everyone around us that I'd give him the ball until he fell. He was just dominant that day and it's one of the best performances I've ever witnessed in person.
Let me tell you how deep: I played against Walter James at Immokalee in 1969 my first start as a soph; he made it with my Tarpon teammate Burton Lalwess to the Cowboys but didn't make the roster (my buddy was the only rookie starter in SB that year against the Steelers). My three sons played Pop Warner through high school against great James family running backs from Immokalee in the early 2000s. Edgrin showed up at the Fish Bowl for a game, signed autographs, and took pictures with everybody who wanted one. Class act.
