Daijun Edwards

Daijun Edwards is the leading returning rusher for the Bulldogs, having accumulated 769 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground last season. However, he will vie with the explosive Kendall Milton for touches out of the backfield. Milton averaged seven yards per tote and scored eight times, despite taking almost half as many carries as Edwards. Neither back was very effective as a pass catcher last season, and that is one area where the Bulldogs may struggle to replace the 43 catches and 504 yards from Kenny McIntosh, who is now in the NFL. Bruising sophomore Brandon Robinson also remains in the fold, as he took 68 carries for 330 yards and three touchdowns in his first campaign in Athens. Incoming freshman Roderick Robinson II rounds out the backfield for the Bulldogs; Roderick is the biggest back of the bunch at 6-1, 230-lbs. Edwards should get the early-down carries, but it would be foolish to expect him to dominate the touches with so many other talented backs on the roster.
