Happy 70th birthday to Herm Edwards<\/a>! Edwards played defensive back<\/a> from 1977 to 1985 for the Philadelphia Eagles, and in 1986 for the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams. He was a starter on the Eagles team that played the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV. (The Raiders won, 27-10.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After retiring as a player, Edwards began a long coaching career in the NFL and NCAA.
