Braylon Edwards Pro Bowl Caliber Wide Reciever

Nothing excites the teams of an NFL franchise more than selecting a big-time college playmaker in the NFL Draft. This was the case when the Cleveland Browns went to the podium with the third overall pick. Braylon Edwards was a standout wide receiver known for his impressive size and ability to make big plays.

-Here's a summary of his football career

-College Stardom (2001-2004): Playing for the University of Michigan, Edwards became dominant. He set numerous school records, including career receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He was a unanimous All-American and a top prospect for the NFL draft.

-Drafted by the Browns (2005): Selected 3rd overall by the Cleveland Browns, Edwards entered the NFL with high expectations. He had some productive seasons, particularly in 2007, when he made his first Pro Bowl and broke Browns franchise records for receiving yards and touchdowns.

-Inconsistent Performances: Despite flashes of brilliance, Edwards' career was marked by inconsistency. He struggled with injuries and off-field issues at times.

-Journeyman Years (2009-2012): After leaving the Browns, Edwards played for the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks. He never quite recaptured his college or early NFL success.

-NFL Carer Stats: 359 receptions for 5522 yards and 40 touchdowns.

-Legacy: While Edwards didn't achieve the sustained excellence some predicted, he remains a significant figure in Michigan Wolverines history and a talented player with moments of dominance in the NFL.
