Description

Dixon Voldean Edwards, III (born March 25, 1968) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings. He played college football at Michigan State University.


Edwards was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round (37th overall) of the 1991 NFL Draft. Because of his speed and hitting ability, he was moved to strongside linebacker, even though he had a small frame at 6-1 and 225 pounds. On September 25, he was activated from the injured reserve list. He played mainly on special teams and tied for fourth on the team with 10 tackles. The next year, he was second on the team with 15 special teams tackles.


In 1993, he became the starter at strongside linebacker after Vinson Smith was traded to the Chicago Bears on August 17. He posted 82 tackles (seventh on the team), 1.5 sacks, one quarterback pressure and 12 special teams tackles. He saw limited action in Super Bowl XXVIII because the Cowboys kept 5 defensive backs on the field for most of the contest.


During his 5 seasons with the Cowboys, Edwards helped the team win 3 Super Bowls, playing as a starter in Super Bowl XXVIII and Super Bowl XXX.
