An undrafted Arizona State safety who has spent two seasons shuttling between Cleveland's active roster and practice squad while trying to stick in the league.
Christopher Edmonds transferred from Samford to Arizona State, where he racked up over 100 tackles across two seasons in the desert. He went undrafted in 2024 and signed with Cleveland, and has since worked to carve out a permanent roster spot with the Browns.
Path to the league
Edmonds transferred to Arizona State after beginning his college career at Samford. He played for the Sun Devils from 2022 to 2023, then went undrafted in the 2024 NFL draft. He signed with the Browns as a free agent that year, was released in final roster cuts, and was re-signed to Cleveland's practice squad the next day.
Career highlights
Over two seasons at Arizona State, Edmonds appeared in 24 games and produced 121 tackles, three interceptions, and five pass deflections, establishing himself as a reliable presence in the Sun Devils' secondary. At his pro day he ran a 4.49-second 40-yard dash with a 32-inch vertical, showing the athletic tools that kept him on NFL rosters despite going undrafted.
2025 season recap
Edmonds has continued to bounce between Cleveland's active roster and practice squad through the 2025 season, working as a depth safety. His NFL playing time has remained limited, with just a handful of tackles accumulated across his appearances for the Browns.
