Edwards recorded 11 receptions for 67
yards, but the 1997 Biletnikoff Award fi
nalist never seemed to get on track.

quarterback Tim Rattay threw a pass on a
wide-receiver screen pattern that Edwards
caught, but he immediately slipped to the

make more throws, but we probably had a
good throwing day anyway.”
