-ESPN's Jared Shanker writes about Mario Edwards Jr.'s role for the 2014 Seminole squad. I think Edwards Jr. is in for a big time junior season. He is one of FSU's most important players and should silence his doubters this season. Edwards does a fantastic job setting the edge and controlling his lineman, amongst other things, allowing the FSU defense to bring pressure from all edges onto the quarterback. You could even argue that he is FSU's best overall defensive player.
