2025 NFL Draft: Running back Donovan Edwards signing with New York Jets as an undrafted free agent

Posted on May 5, 2025

Edwards has taken a bit of a step back statistically the last two years after breaking out with 991 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022. He only ran for 497 and 589 yards in 2023 and 2024, respectively, and ultimately ceded the starting role to Kalel Mullings this past season.

While Michigan tried to primarily use Edwards between the tackles without much success, he showed he can be impactful in other ways. Edwards has routinely found success on outside runs or touches designed to get him the ball in space. From there, his speed and athleticism is able to take over and create big plays.

The trump card for Edwards that should help him stick in the NFL is his receiving ability. NFL teams love running backs that can catch the ball, which Edwards has done plenty of in college with 86 catches for 797 yards. He’s shown some versatility in this area by lining out wide and in the slot, showing he’s more than just a check-down option.

Edwards flashed great speed in the open field, had plays that will live in Michigan lore, but those big moments didn’t lead to consistent production. Edwards never improved running between the tackles and once someone got a hand on him, he went down far too often. However, Edwards can still be an asset as a change of pace back who can catch passes out of the backfield, pass-block at a high level, and have the occasional long run if a gaping hole presents itself. Edwards is likely a day-three pick in a deep running back class. Despite being a late-round pick, Edwards still could have a role as a rookie if a team inserts him in manners that suit his strengths.
