NFL draft Q&A: Colorado NT Javier Edwards (Ben Davis)

Whenever Colorado nose tackle Javier Edwards gets the call from an NFL team, he vows to be ready.

The Ben Davis graduate has received calls and text messages recently from the Texans, Detroit Lions, New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.

He is generally projected as a late-round draft target, but could go higher, in the middle rounds, or even wind up as a priority free agent with the unpredictable nature of the draft. There has been a ton of interest lately in Edwards because of his skills and a dearth of pure nose tackles in this draft.
