Anthony Edwards Shares Exciting NFL Aspirations as NBA Star

Anthony Edwards' NFL Aspirations

Minnesota Timberwolves superstar guard Anthony Edwards is truly one of a kind. Edwards excels on the hardwood, yet he stands out as more than just a basketball player. As he has consistently asserted, Edwards is the ultimate athlete with ambitions that transcend basketball.

The Path to the NFL

Having established himself as a top player in the NBA during his short career, he recently revealed his intentions to transition to the NFL if he wins an NBA title in the next three to four years. By that time, the 23-year-old star will be 26 or 27, a prime age for launching a new sports career.

Football Background

While it remains unclear what position he aims to play, we shouldn't underestimate his ability to excel in any role. As a child, Edwards played multiple positions, including running back, quarterback, and cornerback, demonstrating his strong football background with the Atlanta Vikings in youth leagues.

Confidence and Team USA

Edwards is no stranger to vocalizing his confidence regarding his skills across all sports. This past summer, he made headlines during his time with Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics, jokingly claiming a spot on the U.S. women's table tennis team and declaring himself 'No. 1 option' amid legendary teammates like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant.
