Michigan WR calls out Braylon Edwards on Twitter
Published:
Michigan wide receiver Khalid Hill had to stand up for his teammate.
During Saturday’s game between the Wolverines and Wisconsin, former All-American and NFL receiver Braylon Edwards bashed quarterback John O’Korn on Twitter, questioning why the senior was on the team. And he wasn’t too kind with his words
In a tweet, Edwards said “Who the (expletive) approved his scholarship and transfer?”

Hill caught wind of that tweet and wasn’t too impressed by Edwards’ remarks. The Michigan receiver fired of a tweet saying “Aye, delete this (expletive).”
Aye delete this shit

Done deal. End of story, right? Wrong.
Later, Edwards responded to Hill and refused to apologize about his comments. He went on to say that he’ll continue to support Michigan but he stands by his comments “as an analyst.”
Not arguing with young men from my alma mater. I stand by my comments as an analyst. The game completely changed once Okorn replaced the injured Peters. Thought Michigan had a chance to win, it changed after the QB Switch.

Worry about winning not social media. I did it and my time is over, it’s your time now, make the best. Btw I’m i the record books and by my name it doesn’t say Detroit, or anything else it says U of M. 〽️

Edwards is remembered as one of the top receivers in Michigan and B1G history, totaling more than 3,500 receiving yards and 39 touchdowns in his career.
While the decorated UM receiver certainly has a right to an opinion, it seems like a petty thing to get involved with on Twitter, especially considering the injury issues the Wolverines have suffered this season.
We’ll see if that’s the end of the back-and-forth or if Hill, or any other Wolverines, fire back at Edwards for his comments.
