It’s no secret that Anthony Edwards is very confident in his athletic abilities, even off the basketball court.

The Minnesota Timberwolves star recently told Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson that he could hold his own in the NFL and tackle the Baltimore Ravens star with Derrick Henry.

When asked if Edwards could tackle him, Henry responded hilariously.

“Do I think Anthony Edwards can tackle me? No, no,” he said.

Edwards responded to the video of Henry inviting him on social media on Wednesday:

Actual NFL defenders have enough trouble bringing down Henry, who is 6-foot-4 and 247 pounds, so Edwards could get to him by saying he could tackle him.

Edwards claims he could play other sports besides basketball. He even said earlier this week that he has plans to realize his two-sport dream if he achieves his NBA goals soon.

“Football players can’t go and play basketball. Absolutely not,” Edwards said. “I told my friends, ‘If I win a ring in the next three to four years, I’m going to play football.’”

Edwards on the football field would be a sight to behold, but for now he will focus on leading the Timberwolves to another big year after taking them to the Western Conference Finals a year ago.
