"Big Ed Making Big Move in China

Updated: April 19, 2017


Philadelphia (April 19, 2017)

At 6-feet-5 and over 250 pounds, Ed Wang stands out wherever he goes. He was imposing as a high school football star in Virginia, an All-ACC tackle at Virginia Tech, and then as the first full-blooded Chinese player in the NFL (when he tipped the scales at over 300 pounds). Even Hillary Clinton once noted his football achievements in a press conference.

Now, as the newly promoted President of the CAFL, Ed’s life long passion for the game has taken him back to his parent’s homeland to lead the league into its second season this coming fall.

“His knowledge of the game and his enthusiasm for China, makes for a special leader” says CAFL Founder and Chairman Marty
Judge. Perhaps Ed says it best himself. See the video below."
