Embracing the role of spoiler during an afternoon remembered for the jersey retirement of a Hall of Famer from his opponent’s past, Braylon Edwards discovered that success would require something similar: conquering a matchup against an all-time great defender from their current roster. Feigning an outside route effectively enough to separate on a slant route, the Cleveland Browns’ new No. 3 pick captures a pass that fits between two Pro Bowl defenders from the Green Bay Packers before darting away for an 80-yard score. Edwards showcased his big-play potential in just his career’s second game, recording three receptions (on four targets) for 107 yards and a touchdown, inspiring a 26-24, Week 2 victory on Sept. 18, 2005.
