Captaining a defense that was ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 14th in the three years he's been in that role.
I have watched more Edmunds film than anyone else on the defense last couple years. His role is different from a traditional MLB but so is McDermott's defense as a whole. He's consistently asked to cover a lot of space underneath and on the perimeter when the RB leaks and this last season was without a front that could keep him clean. Edmunds isn't a perfect MLB but he's perfect for this defense and way above average when we don't lose at the point of attack and he's immediately dealing with a center or guard on a free release because our DTs lose 1v1.
