Raiders Rookie Bryan Edwards Drawing Comparisons to Pro Bowl Receivers

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr on Tuesday compared rookie wide receiver Bryan Edwards to Carr's former Fresno State teammate and current Packers' star Davante Adams. On Friday one of Edwards' high school coaches said he has long seen similarities to another perennial All-Pro.

"He's always reminded me of A.J. Green," said Conway (S.C.) head coach Carlton Terry, who was an assistant when Edwards played there and coached against Green in high school. "They both just have that ability to make plays at receiver and return punts. Just men on the field in comparison to the other players. Not only did they stand out vertically, but for big men to have that athleticism is just so rare."

Edwards' natural gifts were evident from the moment he walked into Conway High School as a 13-year-old freshman.
