Armanti Edwards has been named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list. He is the only FCS player listed. Congratulation to Armanti, it's some pretty heady company to even be named!

Good, maybe if they coat his arm with gold he won't produce and we won't have to hear about him in the FCS news every day until the next NFL draft.

Actually, with the momentum that AE has we need for him to do really well and get tons of media attention this year. Why you ask. Well, McNair got tons of attention when he played but the internet was not as big of a deal as it is today.
When a player like AE comes along in this day and age it blazes a trail for perhaps a future Montana, Texas, State, GSU, etc. player who is as good as him or better and will thus be guaranteed to get the attention they deserve. Hopefully we have a couple more develop like him this year.
I could really see Ben Ijalana and a few others gaining attention from the awards and media outlets that usually just cover FBS this time next year and having someone like AE only helps blaze that trail for them as well!

I tease. I am fully aware of the kid's talent and the much needed FCS exposure.

The only thing i have seen about AE going into the NFL is that he probably will get drafted as a WR, which kinda makes sense but definetley not using all of this kids abilities.
