Quote:Edmunds was my heartbreak as a young football fan. And you nailed his description; you couldn't have built a better Tight End in your garage but the guy just couldn't catch.

 

And I was wrong on Green's name. I was thinking of Eric Green who the team brought over from Pittsburgh in '95. That was back in my "am I a Dolphin fan or a Jax fan?" days.

I hated those transition days (from Dallas to Jax).

 

Some of the most difficult days of my football fandom.

 

Eric Green was an outstanding red zone target and very big.

 

Edmunds never made sense...to have all of that physical talent and never put it together.  If he could hold onto those passes, he could have been one of the all time greats with Marino throwing him the ball.

 

He's like the offensive version of Alonzo Spellman.  Great physical specimen, but never put it all together.

 

In Spellman's case, IIRC, there were mental health issues with him.

 

I don't know if there are any comparisons to Edmunds or Green in this draft.
