NORMAL -- After leading Illinois
State in rushing during the 2003 season, Sha-Ron Edwards joined the
RiverCity Rage of the United Indoor Football league, but now the
former Redbird running back will be taking his career overseas. The
Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe selected Edwards as the first pick in
the 16th round of the free agent draft.

Edwards owns the third-best single-season rushing total in Illinois
State history. He legged 1,409 yards on 247 carries with 14
touchdowns during the 2003 campaign. During that year, Edwards
compiled a pair of 200-yard rushing games against Missouri State
(239) and Western Kentucky (233). Last season at RiverCity,
Edwards led the Rage in rushing yards with 804 and rushing
touchdowns with 26 in just 11 games.
