Edwards took part in Marco Summers' talk show Open Thoughts, where the Timberwolves star was asked if he could play football and whether any player achieved such a feat.

"I think I might be the first one," Edwards replied with confidence.

But with his basketball career as his main priority, Edwards says he still has goals to achieve.

"As a team, [the] Minnesota [Timberwolves] organization, we want to win a championship. After that, we'll figure that out," Edwards said.

The Timberwolves are in first place in the Western Conference with a 10-3 record, matching their best start since the 2000-01 season, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Edwards averages 26.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game in 14 appearances this season.
