When you think of the perfect football player, what pops into your head? Maybe someone with the size and strength of an Aaron Donald, or the versatility to play multiple positions like a Myles Jack pre-knee injury. A guy with the build and speed of an Adrian Peterson might come to mind. But for Herm Edwards, that’s not at all what the perfect player looks like.
Herm’s perfect player is his “Mandrake.” Here’s a video of him showing off the player:
BEHOLD: MANDRAKE!
This is @ASUFootball coach Herm Edwards' idea of the perfect football player.

From the looks of things, Edwards’ perfect player needs to have a six-pack and muscles, and wings like a griffin. If you ask me, Herm’s perfect player kind of looks like Iron Man wearing a football helmet.
So if you’re a recruit and you’re asking yourself whether you’re right for Arizona State’s program under Herm, take a look at the graphic and make the call.
