Norfolk State safety Edward Mills: active, physical, and just getting started
In the 2026 season, Norfolk State safety Edward Mills has opened with 1 tackle in the Spartans’ Sept. 5 loss at Old Dominion, and his profile suggests a compact, dependable defender at 5'10", 190 pounds with local roots in Norfolk[1][2]. He’s a redshirt sophomore with little published statistical volume so far, but the early usage hints at a rotational safety who can contribute in run support and special-teams-style physical snaps. If your team wants a young, homegrown defensive back with room to grow, Mills is a watchlist name rather than a finished product[1][2][4].
