01AFL career
As the son of former Adelaide player Tyson Edwards, he was eligible for a father-son selection, however, Adelaide declined to nominate him, leaving him free to be selected by any club at the 2020 AFL draft. Edwards was widely predicted to be a first round pick in the draft. He ended up as a fourth round pick for the West Coast Eagles.
Edwards made his debut against Carlton in round 12 of the 2021 AFL season. His second match, the following round against Richmond saw him get 27 disposals, 13 kicks and 14 handballs.
Edwards decided to step away from football to focus on his recovery from multiple concussions, and was delisted by the Eagles at the end of the 2024 season.
