Summary
Donovan Edwards is a powerful, explosive RB with flashes of big-play ability. Best in a downhill power-running scheme, he’s quick to hit the second level but struggles with lateral agility and sharp cuts. Edwards shows solid vision and patience, but his contact balance is average, and he doesn't consistently break tackles. While limited as a receiver, he’s reliable in pass protection and brings a sturdy frame. Overall, Edwards fits as a change-of-pace back with explosive potential but isn’t a traditional workhorse
