— ESPN (@espn) December 31, 2015“Don’t be that guy,” Edwards told Under Armor All-American players in the video. “I’m going to tell you what is going to happen, they are going to play the football game without him. They’re not canceling the game. They are going to play it, so don’t think you’re not replaceable, because you are and when you do stuff like that you shouldn’t play.”
“When you do what he did last night, he shouldn’t play,” Edwards went on to say. “It’s an embarrassment. Playing in a bowl game and he put his whole team in jeopardy.”
