Anthony Edwards Reacts to Video of Derrick Henry Saying Wolves Star Can't Tackle Him

It's no secret Anthony Edwards has plenty of confidence in his athletic ability, even beyond the basketball court.

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

When asked whether Edwards could tackle him, Henry had a hilarious response.

"Do I think that Anthony Edwards could tackle me? Hell no," he said.

Edwards reacted to the video of Henry calling him out on social media on Wednesday:

Actual NFL defenders have enough trouble bringing down Henry, who stands at 6'2", 247 pounds, so Edwards might be reaching by saying he could tackle him.

Edwards has gone on record claiming he could play other sports besides basketball. He even said earlier this week that he has plans to fulfill his two-sport athlete dream if he accomplishes his NBA goals soon.

"Football players can't go play basketball. No way," Edwards said. "I told my buddies, I said '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 see, but for now, he'll focus on leading the Timberwolves to another big year after taking them to the Western Conference Finals a year ago.
