Gus Edwards Parents
According to the official website of the Baltimore Ravens, Mamie Edwards and Sackie Edwards are Gus Edwards's parents. He was born to them on April 13, 1995, in Monrovia, Liberia. However, Liberia faced the First Liberian Civil War, which caused widespread suffering throughout the nation. This ended up causing the family to shift to the United States of America when Edwards was only five years old. When the family first flew from Liberia, they came to the Park Hills, Staten Island in New York.
There were seven members in the family. However, due to the economic condition of the family they had to all stay in a two-bedroom apartment. The Raven’s running back bought his parents a new home in 2021 after signing a $9 million two-year contract extension with the team.
