Uh-oh. Watch out, Lions. Receiver Braylon Edwards already is looking forward to his New York Jets visiting Ford Field this season.
But Edwards isn't really predicting any kind of payback or big numbers. The Detroit native and former Michigan star is just anticipating a return to his old stomping grounds Nov. 7.
"I'm excited to play back home," Edwards said Saturday at his charity basketball event in Ann Arbor. "... It'll be fun because I have so much family here that supports me. So I can't wait for them to get a chance to come to the game."
Edwards has only played one game against the Lions. In 2005, as a rookie with Cleveland, Edwards caught three passes for 30 yards in a 13-10 loss at Ford Field.
But the Lions game isn't the only one on the Jets' schedule that is receiving Edwards' attention.
"Seven days later is the game I'm worried about," he said. "We go to Cleveland. You know I've got a little chip on my shoulder the size of the golden nugget. So I can't wait to go out there."
Edwards went to one Pro Bowl with the Browns, but he had a long list of problems on and off the field over more than four seasons in Cleveland.
