the one thing that frustrated me about Braylon was that he would catch passes he shouldn't have caught, but drop the passes he should've caught! Loved him, but definitely frustrated me.
Never will forget the MSU comeback when Henne found him for 3 TDs in about 3 mins. What he had, beyond speed and pretty good hands, was his DESIRE for the ball ...if you went up against him, you were taking HIS football. He didn't like that...
When we went down 17 or whatever it was, my dad said “I guess we are going to the Outback Bowl.” I told him we need to throw the ball deep to Braylon and hope for the best. One of my favorite football memories.
Say what you want about Chad Henne but as soon as his clips started the difference between a good college QB and an NFL caliber QB was pretty clear lol
Great compilation video. One of the best I've ever watched. Thanks for NOT inserting music and including the replays and original commentary. Do more of these! You're good at it.
I forgot how decent Navarre was. Edwards is my all-time favorite WR a Michigan. Dude was unstoppable! That game against State was insane. They play that game a lot on Classic and Big Ten Rewind. Devastating his NFL career didn’t pan out. He would’ve had a way better career if he didn’t get drafted by the Browns, in my opinion. He had that breakout Pro Bowl season in ‘07 and didn’t really do much after that. Then getting shipped to San Fran for a year didn’t do him any good either. And two tours playing for the Jets he didn’t produce much. He’s definitely one of the most overlooked receivers in college football history.
Mark G. Of course Desmond, goes without saying he was unreal as a pass catcher AND returner. As far as big-bodied guys that can just blow the top open and jump, these two were in their own league. Manningham was like AC and Braylon as well.
I know a lot of fans focus on the negative aspects (drops) but clearly one of the best offensive weapons to ever step foot on campus. His combination of size, speed and body control made him an elite WR in college football. One of my favorite players to watch at Michigan.
He actually only really had a problem with the drops his first couple yrs at Michigan, his hands during his Jr and Sr seasons were some of the best ive ever seen. Sadly he started having drops again in his fourth yr in Cleveland, which got progressively worse and worse as his career went on. It sucks that he's largely known for his drops rather than the unstoppable threat that he was at Michigan and his first few years with the Browns.
Drew henson quit....John Navararre was above average. And his senior year he had. Of course are best qb ever in Henne who only had BE for his freshman season. They recruited well they just didnt have a intellegent QB
@@austinburrow2843 Yes, i'd take him over those guys as well. The guy put up numbers as good or almost as good as those guys you mentioned, while also being on a team that threw quite a bit to future pros like Breaston and Avant, along with Massaquoi at TE, Perry who had 40-somethin catches outa the backfield, or then Mike Hart during Braylon's final year. Add to that the fact that Carr's offense was pretty damn conservative and run-heavy, (nothin nearly as idiotically conservative and predictable as Harbaugh's has been, but still pretty damn bad). Moss, never would go across the middle in the pros and didn't do it a whole lot at Marshall either! Overall while at Michigan, i honestly can't say Jones nor Megatron were any better than Braylon was!
I am older then braylon by two years and every time I c him at little brown jug he still remembers me third greatest offensive Michigan player ever and as far as the Henne and hart era they were great kids but to soft never beat o state losers in my eyes
If only he wasn't drafted to Cleveland. If he had Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Tony romo, Donovan McNabb, drew brees, Phillip Rivers or Aaron Rodgers as a qb, then he would have been a hall of famer forsure. He made Mark Sanchez look good & took them to 2 AFC championships. How many playoff appearances have the Jets had since they released Edwards?
Yeah I really forgot how dirty he was. He is vicious in this video. I am convinced he would have done this in any conference as well. An incredible college football player
You have to love his second one against MSU from 03 at the 5:39 mark. I remember screaming when that play originally happened because I thought it was intercepted.
That Michigan st game is what I think of when I think of Braylon Edwards at Michigan. That was tied for me for the best game I have ever seen a Michigan wr have. The only one that rivals it is David Terrell’s orange bowl.
Braylon I don't know your DAD but met him one time at a game before he played and said Hi ! He was such a class Act! I knew he was a great man! I loved your Dad more than u brother! lol! U should be proud of your Dad and Mom!! I said Hi to him once in the stadium and he didn't know me from the man n the moon but I knew stanley wa a good MAN! Just some white dude that knows what it means to work hard!!
Ya kno, Odoms is a good WR ya kno but if u look at some of his catches they were screens n not to stay braylon didnt get screen passes but i dont think each n er play he got one n braylon edwards was big part of da O da year 04 as u can see Henne struggled da next year wit out braylon jus a thought but GO BLUE!!!
watch out for Terrance Robinson a kid dat was recuited last year n was red shirt dis year so watch out for him to give Martavious Odoms run for the slot WR
@uberdude123456789 Pam Ward. I know its been posted already, but it's worth mentioning she is one of the few actually really knowledgeable female football announcers.
@goddfather84 I judge people the same way. Where did I ever say I met him at an autograph signing? Never, that's what I thought. And honestly, when delivering pizza, you really expect everyone to be on their best behavior and have the best attitude when they are grabbing their food? No.
odoms is good but he needs to focus more and quit making simple-minded mistakes and he can be an okay guy. mathewa and hemingway are our studs for sure
@goddfather84 Butthurt? Really? Wow. Anyways, it is definitely no argument that Hart is a class act. It was just a disagreement that we have both obviously had very different interactions with him. You are the one beginning to sound a little "butthurt" as you would say.
