While he would not be the first multi-sport athlete to suit up for the Boston Celtics, veteran point guard Marcus Smart certainly wouldn’t mind a shot playing a quarterback in the NFL if a recent interview of his on the “Rich Eisen Show” is to be believed.

The Texan point guard is a big fan of the Cowboys, and his role with the Celtics is not so dissimilar in that he effectively quarterbacks Boston’s offense.
But is Smart really interested in playing pro football, or is he just kidding around?
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the Oklahoma State product has to say for yourself.
