Anthony Edwards, the rising star for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been making headlines with his recent comments. In an upcoming ESPN feature alongside Justin Jefferson from the Minnesota Vikings, Edwards shared some surprising thoughts about his future in sports. He mentioned to his friends that if he wins an NBA championship within the next three to four years, he plans to switch gears and play football. “I told my buddies, if I win a ring in the next three to four years, Iโm going to play football,” said Edwards.

Basketball Success and Future Plans:
Edwards has already achieved so much as a young player. As a former No. 1 draft pick and multiple-time NBA All-Star, he’s seen as a potential future face of basketball. Recently leading Minnesota to their first conference finals in twenty years and securing a massive $244 million contract extension through 2029 shows how valuable he is on the court. It’s hard for fans to imagine him leaving basketball for football where there’s less money and fame but more physical challenges.
A Glimpse into His Past:
Interestingly enough, Edwards isn’t new to football; he played it when he was younger. He excelled in various positions like running back and quarterback during his Pop Warner days. If everything goes according to planโwinning an NBA title by age 28 with nearly $300 million earnedโmaybe this dream could become reality! We think it would be wild yet exciting if Edwards pulled off something like Bo Jackson did before him!
