Anthony Edwards Reiterates NFL Plan Contingent on Winning an NBA Title Before 30

The 24-year-old cast the football talk as a lighthearted, conditional goal in a viral clip during his career-best season for Minnesota.

Overview

Edwards said he would try the NFL only after securing an NBA championship before he turns 30, repeating a stance he has voiced in past interviews.
He floated wide receiver as his likely position and joked about being a backup quarterback, even mentioning playing behind Patrick Mahomes.
The latest remarks spread through a viral social video shared widely on X and highlighted in posts from outlets amplifying his comments.
He previously raised the two-sport idea in November 2023 and again in October 2024, showing consistency rather than a new declaration.
He is averaging 29.7 points with career-best shooting splits for the 39-23 Timberwolves, who sit fourth in the West as he stays focused on the season.
