Edmunds comes to the Steelers from Virginia Tech.
In a press release, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said of evaluating Edmunds before the draft:
"Anything that you can imagine him doing, you saw him do on Virginia Tech's defensive tape. You saw him play free, you saw him play strong, you saw him play deep middle, you saw him play half field, you saw him play sub-package linebacker. That versatility was exciting. You saw him do a number of the things that will be on the menu for him."
Edmunds' brother, Tremaine, was also taken in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.
