| Biography: |
PRO: As one of three Dallas cornerbacks selected in the 2000 NFL Draft, Mario Edwards has rapidly surfaced as a productive player who benefited from the experience of being a starter on the NFL's fourth ranked defense in 2001. Edwards, the third of those three corners selected (sixth round - 180th overall), immediately caught the attention of Cowboys coaches with his attitude and hard work. While being thrown into the fire as a second-year player in 2001, he displayed poise, athleticism and playmaking ability. He followed that season with two more productive years as a starter in 2002 and 2003. His most visible asset is his ability to locate the ball in the air and make plays on the ball as it approaches an intended receiver. Edwards is an aggressive competitor who rarely gets beat deep.
2003: Mario Edwards recorded 45 tackles, 8 Passes Broken Up, and 1 INT for the Cowboys in 2003. Overall, he's started 47 of the last 48 games in Dallas at cornerback and figures to retain the same role in 2004.
2002: Edwards finished the year eighth on the team with a career-high 72 tackles, while finishing third in interceptions with two. He also broke up eight passes to finish tied for fourth on the team.
2001: An opening day starter at left cornerback, Edwards led the Cowboys in passes defensed with 11 and was the eighth leading tackler on the squad with 58 stops. Edwards played a key role in the surprising performance of the Dallas defense that finished the season ranked fourth in the NFL - allowing 287.4 yards-per-game.
2000: Despite suffering a strained left hamstring in preseason that kept him on the club's inactive list the first four weeks of the regular season, Edwards tied for fourth on the team with 11 special teams tackles. For the season, Edwards recorded a special teams tackle in eight of the 11 games he played and was a key member of a kickoff coverage unit that finished the year third in the league in opponents average starting position following kickoffs.
COLLEGE: Edwards started two national championship games in his final two seasons at Florida State and played for Seminole teams that finished the 1995, 1996, 1998 and 1999 seasons ranked No. 4, 3, 3 and 1 in the nation, respectively. As a senior, he helped the Seminoles to the national title with a win over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl and earned All-ACC honors at left cornerback. After redshirting during his third year at Florida State, Edwards ranked eighth in the nation in interceptions with six as a junior and earned second-team All-ACC honors. While helping the Seminoles lead the nation in pass defense, Edwards led the team with 11 pass deflections and closed the year with 20 tackles. He set a school record, and tied the conference record, by registering four interceptions in a game against Wake Forest.
PERSONAL: A social sciences major at Florida State, Edwards attended Pascagoula, Miss., High School - the same school that produced former Florida State All-America corner Terrell Buckley. Edwards, a high school All-America choice, was one of the most highly regarded high school players in the country in 1995. He finished his high school career with a senior season that included 61 tackles, four interceptions and 14 pass deflections. |
