Tom Brady Recruiting Timberwolves Star Anthony Edwards to Join Buccaneers

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is a real deal athlete.

Edwards recently flexed his acting muscles in Adam Sandlers’ “Hustle” movie this summer, and now he’s showing off another skill. Edwards posted a video where he throws an absolute dime to a receiver at Georgia Tech’s campus and then put on the jets to catch a pass later in the clip.

“Was that not back shoulder?” Edwards said to the camera afterward. “Don’t I look like something? What ya’ll think? I got a profession in this [expletive] or what?”

Of course Tom Brady, being the Master of Social Media that he is, caught the video, and tweeted directly at Edwards to tell him he was playing the wrong sport.

Edwards tweeted back at Brady to essentially asked if he had an opening for a pass-catcher on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Rob Gronkowski’s recent retirement.

In an interview during his rookie season, Edwards insisted he could play any sport whenever and wherever.

“I used to play baseball when I was young. I could have went to the MLB. I’m seriousy, I’m not even joking. I played pitcher, shortshop, third base, center field. I was fourth-fifth hitter. Straight clean-up. On aisle 3,” Edwards said. ” … tennis, swimming, lacrosse – Whatever you need me to play I’m going to go do it. If it’s some money on the line, I’m going to go do it.”

The dude can do it all.
