Calling veteran Pittsburgh Steelers’ safety Terrell Edmunds a bust at this point in his career is rather ridiculous.
That’s exactly what Bleacher Report’s Ian Wharton did Thursday though, highlighting Edmunds as one of seven players in the NFL who could shed their bust label this season with a strong performance in 2022.
Edmunds, the 28th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, hasn’t quite lived up to expectations as a first-round safety coming out of Virginia Tech. In 64 career games (60 starts), Edmunds has just five interceptions, 21 passes defensed, one fumble recovery, and three sacks, which doesn’t quite line up with first-round safety production.
