Tremaine Edmunds 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

When you have a father who played professional sports, there often seems to be two paths. You either burn out trying to make a name for yourself or rise to the challenge and show you are just as worthy to play in the NFL. Tremaine Edmunds<\/a><\/strong> has shown the latter, showing he deserves to be another Edmunds in the NFL. He will join not only his father (retired from the league), but his brother Trey as well who is currently a member of the New Orleans Saints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his three years as a Hokie, Edmunds was named second-team All-ACC in 2016, as well as first-team All-ACC and third-team All-American in 2017. He has been impressing scouts all season, leading the team in tackles with 109, pairing that with 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. His dominance on the field this year lead to him being a finalist for the Butkus Award, given to the top linebacker in the country. Taking full advantage of his length and range, he compiled 215 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks over his final two years in college.<\/p>\n
