    Philadelphia Eagles: LB T.J. Edwards, Wisconsin
    26 OF 32

    Nam Y. Huh/Associated Press
    The Philadelphia Eagles may have landed one of the steals of undrafted free agency in the form of former Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Edwards. The 6'1", 242-pounder possesses a physical mindset that should mesh perfectly with the Eagles defense.

    "Stout four-year starter who shows up and does his job each week as a banger in the box with surprising ball skills to flip the field," NFL.com's Lance Zierlein wrote of Edwards.

    Edwards' high motor regularly got him involved for the Badgers. In 2018, he racked up 112 tackles, including 11.5 tackles for loss and three sacks. While he isn't likely to produce those kinds of numbers as a rookie, he should slot in as a backup inside linebacker who can start in a pinch.

    Agree that he is an interesting prospect. Lots of 'media' types have touted him and most if not all expected him to be drafted. However, he wasn't drafted for a reason. Not sure what it was but 32 teams passed on him. I hope he proves them all wrong.
    Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy

      I like him after watching him play PSU
      We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

        Supposedly he's more of an old-style, throwback, two-down LB. Not the versatile coverage type or hybrid LB/S player that teams seem to favor as of late. Maybe that's why he fell out of the draft. IMO, a good player is a good player.

            That's so true TP. Those 2 down linebackers are obsolete. You have to be able to do it all at the linebacker spot in the modern pass happy NFL. Still, 112 is a lot of tackles.
