Thirteen different wide receivers were drafted ahead of South Carolina's in April, and there are nearly as many legitimate pa s catching options competing for time in the ' restocked offense ahead of the 2020 season. But if you ask anyone involved with the team's wide receiver group this offseason, it's Edwards, the 21-
Travis D'Arnaud Jersey year-old rookie, who could ultimately be the Raiders' top target on the outside.The Raiders have poured a lot of other resources into reinforcing quarterback supporting cast, pairing returning starters like , and breakout tight end with first-round burner Henry Ruggs, hybrid running back Jr., longtime tight end and one-time standout . That's not even mentioning incumbent running backs and , both of whom are .Seemingly half of those options in the pa sing game, however, have gone out of their way to highlight Edwards as the guy to watch."Bryan is a very violent route runner, and that's a good thing," Carr .
David Wright Jersey "He's very violent, he's very aggre sive in his cuts, he reminds me -- when the ball is in the air -- of Davante (Adams), great ball skills."Adams, the Pro Bowl wideout, wasn't the only big name to appear in an Edwards comparison.
Pete Alonso Jersey Tyrell Williams, , said Edwards reminds him of , his former teammate who broke out for 1,000 yards in 2019. And Agholor echoed the praise, saying Edwards "has (the) best hands I've seen in a long time," and is "quicker than he looks.""We knew he had the pedigree," , piling on the promise. "He's the all-time
Tug McGraw Jersey leading receiver at (South Carolina). But he's physical, he's got tremendous hands, he's a quick learner. He's a busine s man, too. He's not got a lot of other interests other than being a great receiver."Carr also deemed Edwards a "freak talent" with first-round qualities, and , the rest of the organization is on board with that a se sment: "The buzz around Bryan Edwards is on 1,000 percent. You'd think the Raiders picked him in the first round. Teammates see he has the tools to be a lead WR." Edwards figures to open the 2020 season behind both Williams and Ruggs, the 12th overall pick
New York Mets Hoodie , with Renfrow and Agholor competing for slot duties. In the event Las Vegas uses Ruggs primarily in the slot, however, there's a chance Edwards could also see early action starting on the outside. Agholor and former starter are the only other primary competition at outside receiver.
