Edwards said he played as Peterson on Madden "every day" when he was growing up.

It was one of many notable moments from the evening, including his viral staredown with Kevin Durant:

"I think everybody here knows that's my favorite player of all time," Edwards told reporters regarding Durant when asked about the exchange. "That was probably one of the best feelings ever in my whole life, for sure."

So it was quite the night for Edwards. Beat a hero, meet a hero.
