Edwards is an edge defender who brings a physical, high-energy presence off the perimeter and plays with clear intent to disrupt the backfield. He shows a quick first step that allows him to challenge offensive tackles early in the rep, and he consistently works to get upfield and stress the edge of the pocket. Edwards competes with toughness through contact, often fighting through blocks rather than stopping on the initial collision, which helps him stay involved in plays longer than expected.

What stands out about his game is his effort and persistence as a pass rusher. Even when his initial move doesn’t win, he continues working to find angles and stay active with his hands, which leads to pressure opportunities and broken timing for quarterbacks. In the run game, he shows willingness to set the edge and stay disciplined, helping force plays back inside to support.

Gunnar shows up on film as a dynamic edge rusher who consistently puts pressure on the quarterback and disrupts the backfield. He explodes off the ball with quickness and shows the ability to bend the edge while maintaining speed, turning corners cleanly to create immediate impact. Against the run, he sets the edge aggressively, reads plays quickly, and takes proper angles to finish tackles in the backfield. What stands out most is his motor—he chases plays sideline to sideline, sheds blocks effectively, and keeps his feet moving through contact. Gunnar’s combination of speed, strength, and relentless effort makes him a consistent playmaker who forces offenses to adjust every snap he’s on the field.
