A popular sports cliche suggests the best teammates play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back.
For Rutgers tailback Gus Edwards, motivation is drawn from both sides of his uniform. And the No. 13, too.
The nameplate on the back of Rutgers' leading rusher's jersey reads "EDWARDS SR" -- something you might recognize from NFL stars and proud fathers Steve Smith Sr. and Mohamed Sanu Sr.
It's much more unusual in college, but every carry by Edwards is an announcement that he has a 10-month-old son of the same name who was born on the 13th day of the month, just like his father.
