Description
Earl Edwards is a former American and Canadian football player [[defensive tackle, offensive tackle and defensive end] Earl played both ways offensively and defensively in college]. He played College football at Wichita State University where Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells was his lineman coach until leaving for Canada. College was a short stop for "Big Earl" because he defended a team member, and his input was not appreciated, causing him to leave the team. In his two and a half years at Wichita State University he won; Sophomore Lineman of the Year, All Conference 1st Team, All-Mid West 1st Team, Honorable Mention All American.
In 1967 I was drafted by the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Foot Ball League, only to be traded to the Edmonton Eskimo's without playing a down, for an All star Kicker. Edmonton's offensive line coach Joe Spencer helped me became a stand-out Offensive Tackle for two seasons. In 1969 the San Francisco 49ers traded 11 players for my draft rights because I still had one year left on my contract with the Canadian team.
