‘“I was going to college in Australia, originally,” says Edwards, who attended the University of Ballarat. “We got bored one summer and found an American football at my buddy’s house. We went down to the field and started throwing it. Back then, I couldn’t really throw, so we just started punting it. I played Australian football and that’s how we move the ball. So I started punting it and one of my professors was driving by and he was a native from Connecticut.”’
