He can run. He can catch the ball. He can do a lot of things that you anticipate a good back should be able to do. The thing he brings to the table, too, is he's an outstanding special-teams player.
"Herman "Herm" Edwards, Jr." is an American football analyst who most recently coached in the National Football League for the Kansas City Chiefs. Since 2009, he has been a pro football analyst for ESPN. He played cornerback for 10 seasons (1977–1986) with the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams/Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons. Prior to his coaching career, Edwards was known best as the player who recovered a fumble by New York Giants/Giants quarterback Joe Pisarcik on a play dubbed "The Miracle at the Meadowlands."
Before being hired as the 10th head coach in Kansas City Chiefs history, Edwards was the head coach of the New York Jets from 2001 to 2005. He is known for his gameday terminology, dubbed "Hermisms" by fans. Of these, the quote and sound bite, "You play to win the game!", a message that Edwards gave during a New York Jets press conference, became the title of his book, a collection of "leadership lessons" for the reader to use as personal motivation.

Well, first of all, you've got to get there. That's very, very difficult.
You look at what you accomplished last year and you always try to set a higher standard for your team, as well as for your organization, ... We've been fortunate enough here to do some things that we wanted to get done. It's not all we want to get done yet, but I think we're heading on the right path.
I mean, he's a little bit bigger, obviously, than Santana, so he's a little bit more physical. He had real good chemistry with the quarterback the year that he was our MVP, and I just think that that's something that him and the quarterback have always had. They have just had that feel.
The guy is a heck of a football player.
He'll be in the flow of the game, we hope we don't get into a game that's 70, 80 plays. If he can get 20-something plays in, that would be great. We want to rotate those guys because it's going to be hot out there.
