Earl Edwards Jr. is used to biding his time, waiting for his moment. Drafted in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft at No. 43 overall by Orlando City, the goalkeeper came into a situation knowing that playing time would be at a premium for him. Through his year and change with the team, Edwards has accepted his role as a backup with professionalism and patience, something that he learned over his years in high school and college.
I sat down with Edwards this past Thursday and talked about how he got ready for his role with the Lions.
