    That guy #7 from Michigan should be on this list. Not a Michigan fan but the limited times I saw that guy play he’s utterly explosive. Gonna have a big year as the featured guy.

Or do you mean the stats of finishing SIXTEENTH in the B1G TEN in total yards rushing and NINETEENTH in the B1G TEN in yards per carry, AFTER factoring in his rushing yards against Washington? That's CONFERENCE ranking, not national ranking.🤦🏾 Help me out here, which stats are supposed to impress me...🙄 Btw, would you like to also compare where Edwards stacked up against other "back #2"s last year when it comes to total yards, yards per carry and TDs?🤔 Being "back #2" is a pretty weak excuse.

This conversation is about returning NATIONAL RBs, there's no argument that justifies Edwards being a top 10 returning NATIONAL RB. And btw, he never said Edwards couldn't work his way into one, but it's ridiculous for any rational person to look at what Edwards did last year and say his play earned him a spot in this conversation.
