Braylon Edwards #1

Braylon Edwards- A Michigan Man on and off the field

Home

Braylon Edwards holds many Michigan football records.  He also bore the brunt of great expectations when he began wearing the coveted #1 jersey at Michigan.  He made spectacular catches and occasionally missed a few passes along the way but he was always the exceptional kind of player who you couldn't take your eyes off of while he was on the field. 

Braylon was instrumental in the stirring multiple OT victory over Michigan State and but he also took some lumps on the way to the NFL.  He was late for a few team meetings and felt wrath of Coach Lloyd Carr who took the unusual step of criticizing his star player in the media. 

Walking The Walk...

Well, Braylon isn't holding that against his old coach or his team.  He has decided to be the first player in Wolverine history IN ANY SPORT to endow a scholarship.  He also acknowledged the influence of former Wolverine great Anthony Carter who inspired him to play wide receiver. 

Many former Wolverines talk about what a great honor it was for them to play at Michigan.  Braylon is the first to endow a scholarship to help future Wolverines follow in his footsteps. 

1 to 1

I attended the 1 to 1 scholarship event where Braylon announced his endowment. 

Many great Wolverines were in attendance but none bigger than Braylon Edwards. 

He is truly #1.
