At Norwalk, Edwards was a strong-way player. But he arrived at UConn as a defensive back. “In my mind when we were watching (Edwards) on film as a high schooler, you saw skill on both sides of the ball,” Mora said. “But the way he can move his instincts, I liked him as a defensive back. Then his size was more towards what we wanted as a defensive back. What flipped it for us was that he became our scout team running back the first week of the situation because we were down on bodies.” “(Edwards) has been going against the No. 1 defense every day in practice, and he is doing a good job,” Mora said. “He is taking some shots, he is fighting, he is physical, he can catch the ball, and he was equally efficient in high school on both sides of the ball. He was the natural guy to move to that position.” <- [/QUOTE]
