Eddie Edwards (born April 25, 1954) is an American former football defensive end who played for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL).
Early years[edit]
Edwards was born in Sumter, South Carolina, and raised in Fort Pierce, Florida. He played high school football at Fort Pierce Central High School.
College career[edit]
He attended the University of Miami, playing college football for the Miami Hurricanes, where he was a first-team All-American at defensive tackle. In 1976, he was awarded the Jack Harding Memorial Award as the most valuable player for the Hurricanes, as selected by coaches vote.
Professional career[edit]
Edwards was selected in the first round of the 1977 NFL draft, the third overall selection, by the Cincinnati Bengals. He played for the Bengals for 12 seasons from 1977 until his retirement in 1988, playing his first three seasons as a defensive tackle. During that time, he recovered 17 fumbles and set a franchise record with 84.5 sacks. However, only 47.5 of those sacks are official, as the NFL did not consider sacks an official statistic until 1982. His 47.5 official sacks remained a Bengals franchise record until Carlos Dunlap passed him in 2015.[1]
Honors[edit]
Edwards was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 1989.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
