Edgerrin is one of the most prolific and exciting running backs in UM history ! He came to Miami out of Immokalee (FL.) High School where he also played linebacker and handled kickoff and field goal duties and was named a Parade All-American. He is the only Hurricane running back to post consecutive 1000+ rushing seasons and ranks 2nd in school history with 2,960 yards, despite starting only 17 games. His 35 total touchdowns is tied for the schol record with Stephen McGuire, while his 32 rushing touchdowns is 2nd. He is tied for the school record with fourteen 100+ yard rushing games and had 12 multi-touchdown games in his career. He is also 3rd in rushing attempts (474), and 3rd in all-purpose yards (3,590). His 1,416 yards rushing in 1998 was the most to that time of any Miami back (now 2nd) and set a Big East record, and his 17 touchdowns that year shattered Eddie Dunn's 60-year old school record of 14 touchdowns in 1938 ! He also holds the freshman rushing record (446 yds.). "Edge", as he is known to teammates and fans, saved his best for the big stage, and nothing points that out better than his school record 299 yards in 39 carries performance in the Canes 49-45 upset victory over #2 UCLA in the Orange Bowl in December of 1998 ! He was named first team AP All-Big East, Football News All-Big East, and Football News honorable mention All-American. University of Miami running back Edgerrin James was selected in the first round, 4th overall, of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. The team had great expectations for James as he was picked to replace the recently traded and future Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk. James did not disappoint. His powerful running style and versatility led to a spectacular start to his career. James was tabbed as the NFL's Rookie of the Year in 1999, captured NFL rushing titles in his first two seasons (1,553 yards in 1999 and career-best 1,709 yards in 2000) and scored 13 rushing TDs in each of his first two campaigns. He also caught 62 passes and 4 TDs as a rookie and a career-high 63 receptions and 5 TDs in his second season. James led the team in rushing in six of his seven seasons in Indianapolis and was a key to the potent Colts offense that helped them win four division titles and post six seasons with 10 or more wins. Prior to the 2006 season, James signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an unrestricted free agent and continued his all-star play. He rushed for 1,000 yards twice in three seasons with the Cardinals and helped them win the NFC West title in 2008 (the team's first division championship in 33 years) and a berth in Super Bowl XLIII. James eclipsed 1,000 yards in a season seven times during his career and topped 1,500 yards four times. A four-time Pro Bowl choice, James rushed 12,246 yards on 3,028 carries and 80 TDs during his 11-year career which ended with a final season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. A three-time All-Pro choice (1999-2000 and 2004) and All-AFC selection four times (1999-2000, 2004-05), James was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of 2000s.

Willie and Eddie are back to update us on their journey together and they will share how the “WE ARE ALL HOMELESS,” a heART project, continues to change lives!
Willie Baronet- Stan Richards Professor in Creative Advertising at SMU, Founder WE ARE ALL HOMELESS Project Artist and Professor Willie Baronet has purchased close to 2,000 homeless signs since 1993. He uses this collection to create exhibits that raise awareness about homelessness.Willie’s passion for the homeless began over 20 years ago out of his own awkwardness and guilt he felt when ignoring people he encountered on the streets. He began his quest to understand it all. Why were these people homeless? Why did he feel this way? How could he change his feelings and views about homelessness? In 2014 Willie and three filmmakers drove across the U.S. buying signs and talking to the people behind them. This trek became a Prime Video documentary called Signs of Humanity. The news coverage of the trip resulted in 138M media impressions, was on the front page of Reddit, and an article picked up by the Associated Press was featured in media across the United States. One of Willie’s most memorable stories is from the streets of Philadelphia where he met Eddie Dunn, who was suffering from addiction, homeless, and disconnected from his children. In 2016, after a year and a half of sobriety, Eddie contacted Willie. Tune in to hear Eddie’s rise from hopelessness to happiness.
Veterans are really good at making connections, so it should come as no surprise that we found a Veteran who is finding his own post-military purpose in doing just that - helping Veterans bridge the gap between their military service and the civilian workforce. Eddie Dunn was one of the instrumental minds behind the 100,000 jobs mission, the most successful Veteran hiring initiative to date! Tune in to hear Eddie's story, as well as what he tells his consulting clients about finding meaningful work after the military. Note: We did experience a few audio issues during the show, so toward the end, you may hear a few blips due to the audio and connection issues.
