Anthony Edwards is one of the most talented athletes on the planet and a first-team All-NBA shooting guard for the Timberwolves.
Edwards is tough and physical. He played football in his youth. Edwards recently participated in an iconic photo shoot with Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. During that interaction, Edwards told Jefferson that “he could play safety” in the NFL.
Edwards took things further, stating that he could tackle Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry.

He is on pace for 2,120 yards rushing, which would eclipse Eric Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. Dickerson ran for 2,105 yards for the Rams in 1984.
