A.J. EDDS highlight top 7 Outside Linebacker 2010 draft top SLB

[SVSfootballman09]

welcome to the pats....muhahahaha

[PEEP4LIFE52]

@SVSfootballman09 Dont you mean Colts? Colts signed him today off The Pats Practice Squad. He's back with his old teammate Pat Angerer

[dapats71]

dudes like a white jerod mayo has real good hands speed and coverage skills

[JCNash69]

i met him he went to my school and played with my coaches

[6uitarded]

he is exactly what the patriots look for in a linebacker...great tackler, great at coverage and a high football IQ

[MJohnnyboy]

Welcome to the Pats!

[rusH1023]

Glad to see this guy on the Pats. Belichick will do wonders with him.

[josifus77]

@rusH1023 I agree also. As long as he stays healthy of course!!!

[HailDaFins]

Dolphin fan here, can't wait to see this guy in action. Sucks that he got injured last year, same with Jared Odrick.

[Hound8515]

i played with him in high school at greenwood... this guy can play some ball, bad set back with the acl... but make no mistake he will work thru it and get better

[Bigtunabeliever2]

im not trying to make an issue here but he reminds me of the man 54

[warstomp4life]

he would have had an awesome rookie campaign with miami. really excited for him next season tho. i hope he is good enough to replace Crowder in the starting lineup.

[mkl62]

A.J., congratulations on being selected by the Miami Dolphins in the 2010 NFL Draft. I know that you are excited and are looking forward to August 14 when you enter Sun Life Stadium to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I live in South Carolina (no hard feelings) and can tell you that the Dolphins have a big fan base here. Best of luck in your pro football career.

[dwid1984]

@mkl62 why do you do this for every player? and your late and probably jinxed Edds by not congratulating him earlier, because he has a torn acl and is out for the year.

[dwid1984]

im just messing about the jinx, he is out for the season though, which sucks because he is one of the most talented linebackers in last year's class. Why do you do this for every player, almost the same message?

[mkl62]

@dwid1984 It's just that this is a new phase in their lives. They are going to have to take it up to the next level if they want to have a job on Labor Day. Tomorrow night, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Dallas Cowboys lock up in the Hall of Fame Game. And anytime, that dreaded knock at the door could come, followed by these words: "Coach wants to see you....and he said to bring your playbook."

[dwid1984]

@mkl62 aint gonna happen to Edds, or Meier, or Shipley, and everyone else you congratulated. that knock on the door is a long ways away. They all have long careers ahead of them. Blair White is the only one that got screwed over because he is on a team that has a ton of wide receiver depth, yet he is a 6'2 4.5 guy that runs precise routes.

[curtiscoolio]

fuck. can't believe the acl news.

super pissed. definitely wanted to see this guy pick off sanchez this season.

i know he's a good coverage linebacker and he's got range. and that 40 times don't really applyto lb'ers and it's an overrated stat, but anyone know what his 40 is?

[finzfan92]

There's allmost no doubt this guy is going to be used primarily as a third down OLB this year, with Wake, and Misi playing 1st and 2nd downs. theyll probably sub him in for Wake since he can't cover downfield for shit, he's a pass rush specialist.

Man I can't wait for the NFL season to start!

GO PHINS!!!!!

[finzfan92]

@finzfan92..............Or maybe he'll just tear his ACL in training camp and leave us without a good cover LB and pick up where he left off next year. =(

[smbplibra93]

Wow! He looks very good. I know it is going to be a REALLY tough competition for starting linebacker with AJ Edd, Koa Misi, and Cameron Wake. These are all young players with explosive potential.

Cannot wait to see how training camp plays out. Hopefully I will find a way to make it to training camp to see for meself. :)

And I knew there was a reason I was rooting for the Hawkeyes in the Orange Bowl. ;)

[samSGguitarist]

Miami got a hell of a player. AJ is soo smart and does all the little things well. He makes everyone around him better and his stats don't show how good of a player he was because he was covering guys down the field more often. There's countless times where he's jumped routes and forced a sack or blown up a lead blocker and forced a negative rushing play.

[SuperHeat11]

Parcells realized this is a passing league now, He drafted big but very Ahtletic LBs...these LBs should cover TE easy, this guy is one of the best Ive seen in a while, he can move all over the field, Koa Missy as well, if we can creat lots of turn overs the need for sackin the QB is not eminent, we were 3rd on sacks last season and didnt get us anywhere, JT andf JP were as slow as crap covering.

[SuperHeat11]

this guy impressed so much during minicamp that Torbor was kicked out.

[Roman529]

Last name pronounced like Weeds....not Eds like Mr. Ed.

[KJT922010T]

MIAMI

[patrickpeagler1]

great coverage skills

[dwid1984]

@SpainMallorca1 6'3 and 5/8ths, thats pretty damn close to 6'4

[hamdogg91]

So happy about this pick, we desperately need a nickel coverage LB. Welcome to MIAMI AJ, we wish you a long a illustrious career

[dcwheaton]

I'm glad Miami got an ILB that can catch a football. I really hope this is Crowders replacement.

[deiva2236]

he looks like next zach thomas

[ReadR00ster1]

Now, I remember this guy. This guy has to be one of the best pass defending LBs I have ever seen. This was a really good pick.

[pitbullhinson]

welcome to MIA baby!! Make us proud son...

[rosko85]

is his name pronounced EEds or eds?

[dwid1984]

@rosko85 pretty sure its eeds, thats the way they have always said it on big 10 network.

[rosko85]

@dwid1984 Thanks for the reply as well as the video. This guy looks like a hot prospect.

[IngridBergmanRocked]

Welcome to the Miami Dolphins A.J.:D

[enriqum1]

Looks better than Koa Missie

[primro305]

@enriqum1 thinking the same thing missie looks bad

[snkpoct137]

Damnit. He should of been a Lion. Thanks a lot Parcells

[Sensimillia923]

This guy Plays Hard Good Pick by Parcells he has good instincts

[dwid1984]

you hate parcells for taking Edds over Jones? i guess you know football talent better than he does, maybe u should apply for a job

[noctiluz]

Zach Thomas Jr?

[deonred]

@noctiluz whoa now let's not get carried away .

[dwid1984]

its not that far fetched. Edds has the potential to have a pro bowl career. He plays different than Thomas, not many similarities except the obvious

[tykelley1]

we'll see how he does covering NFL wr's but looks real good so far.

[bigtunabeliever]

welcome to miami

[dwid1984]

i was hoping the Saints would pick him. Where would he project to in a 3-4?

[chrisjrlloyd]

anyone who knows Fins history knows AJs are good for us........go for it Edds

[HailDaFins]

@chrisjrlloyd

Not including AJ Feeley of course? lol.

[Jcerna88]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo great selection so far!!!! i thought this whole draft was going to be a dud!!!!!!!!

[superdopetastic]

damn,great 4th round pick,this guy is going to be reaaaal good for the dolphins!

[Mjkoko15]

Good pick Phins!! He looks live he covers WR's very well and will get us some picks...Go Phins!

[ShikaGaara]

Good for the Dolphins* :)

[gus305]

welcome to the dolphins

[sikhaze123]

hmmmm looks like he could be good for the eagles :>!
