Most announcements players make when confirming they are returning to school for their senior seasons are rather mundane, run-of-the-mill affairs. This one is the exact opposite.
After much speculation, Bryan Edwards confirmed Tuesday evening that he would indeed be eschewing early entry into the April NFL draft and returning to South Carolina for another year. To drive home what he was announcing, the wide receiver used a 15-second clip from the film “Wolf of Wall Street” to deliver his message.
WARNING: Unless you work in a shipyard or factory or some other similar business, one word used in the clip is decidedly NSFW. Click “play” wisely.
This past season, Edwards’ 52 receptions, 809 yards, seven touchdowns and 15.6 yards per catch were all second on the Gamecocks. With Deebo Samuels’ early departure for the NFL, Edwards will be USC’s leading returning receiver in 2019.
