If you haven’t noticed, Michigan football standout running back Donovan Edwards is one of the most lovable characters in the game right now — few are as animated or full of life as Edwards, who recently put his outgoing personality to work behind a Raising Cane’s counter as a part of a new post-National Championship NIL deal.

Below, you’ll see the clip of Edwards working a shift with Raising Cane’s the day after leading Michigan football to a National Championship victory over Washington. As said before, Edwards played a massive role in the Wolverines’ 34-13 victory, ripping off a 41-yard touchdown run and a 46-yard touchdown run in the game’s early stages.

Donovan Edwards currently has a decision to make in regard to the NFL Draft — as does JJ McCarthy, Jim Harbaugh, and many other members of the 2023-24 Michigan football National Championship team. Regardless, this new NIL deal is fantastic to see for the Wolverines, and Edwards has undoubtedly become a Michigan legend with yet another standout performance when the team needed it most.

Most importantly, on top of being a standout Raising Cane’s employee, Donovan Edwards is a Michigan football National Champion — something that he will carry with him for the rest of time.
