All-Access: Jahwan Edwards at the NFL Combine
February 20, 2015 | Football
Ball State has become a regular part of the NFL Combine in recent years. With running back Jahwan Edwards being selected in 2015, he marks the fifth Cardinal headed to Indianapolis over the last three seasons. Ball State All-Access was at Lucas Oil Stadium Thursday as Edwards met the media.
Edwards finished his Ball State career as the school's all-time leader in rushing yards (4,558), rushing touchdowns (51), total touchdowns (51) and rushing attempts (884). He ranks fifth in Mid-American Conference history in career rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, while ranking sixth in rushing attempts. The 5-10, 219-pound senior rushed for 100 or more yards six times in his final season and 18 times in his career.
In 2014, Edward tallied 262 rushes for 1,252 yards and 12 touchdowns, while averaging 104.3 rushing yards a game in his 12 starts. He became only the second player in Cardinals' history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons after rushing for 1,410 in 2012, 1,110 in 2013 and 1,252 in 2014.
The Matthews, N.C., native competed in the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl in January, an all-star game for bowl-eligible seniors.
Edwards helped Ball State to 30 wins and two bowl appearances in his four seasons, under the guidance of Cardinals' head coach Pete Lembo.
The NFL Combine will be shown live on the NFL Network.
