Javier Edwards is on the cusp of his dreams.

After being the Big Man on Campus at Aldine Davis, a grinder at Blinn Junior College and a defensive anchor at Colorado, Edwards is in position to become a professional athlete.

The 6-foot-3, 325-pound defensive tackle has put in the work to have this opportunity to play in the NFL. He impressed at his recent Pro-Day, giving him hope to have his named called within the top seven rounds of the draft.

"Everyone at this level is big, fast and strong," he said. "How are you going to separate yourself? How strong are you mentally to live out your dream?"

Edwards starred at Davis when it opened.
