Anthony Edwards believes he can become first athlete to play in both NBA and NFL
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards believes he can become the first athlete to play in both the NBA and NFL. In a recent conversation with comedian Marco Summers on his talk show “Open Thoughts,” Summers asked the All-Star guard if he could still play football and if there’s ever been a player to play in both leagues. With confidence, Edwards replied to Summers: “I think I might be the first one.”

For all of the “How can Thibs start Grimes” responses, he’s guarding Anthony Edwards and that’s why. Can Grimes score more with the second unit? Yes. Does he guard the best player there? No. – 8:21 PM

The Timberwolves are atop the West. But how? And why, as they told me last week, should we have seen this coming?

More on this storyline
But with his basketball career as his main priority, Edwards says he has to “handle his business in the NBA.” “As a team, [the] Minnesota [Timberwolves] organization, we want to win a championship. After that, we’ll figure that out,” Edwards said. -via ESPN / November 23, 2023

The Wolves delivered perhaps their best first quarter of the season against the tired Sixers, outscoring them 37-20. Philadelphia got close for a moment in the second quarter, but Minnesota turned back the charge and never trailed. “We ain’t coming out here to play around,” Edwards said after putting up 31 points, six rebounds and six assists. “Let’s come out here, 48 minutes, play hard — hard as we can — and do what the coaches say. And if we come up short, we come up short. But I think we’ve been doing pretty good.” -via The Athletic / November 23, 2023
