If he wins us a ring I’ll drive him to the Vikings facility in Eagan personally and we’ll stop at Popeyes on the way.
He’d have to declare for the draft and go undrafted to be a UDFA free to sign anywhere right?
I figure if he was serious about transitioning it might be worth a 7th rounder just for the Vikings or whatever team to sell tickets and jerseys lmao, and maybe he’d be able to get good.
Kid could make a hell of a tight end lol
Do you really think so? Not saying Ant isn't a tremendous athlete but I always thought NFL players had to memorize shit loads of routes and play calls and stuff, seems like a lot.
The route tree is simple, there are only so many ways to run an out or a flag or whatever.
What's hard is being in the huddle and being told spider 2 3 X corner and having 2 seconds to remember your route in that moment and get to the right spot.
Then you add in hot reads and adjustments for that play and yes it gets very complex.
My assumption I guess was that compared to the 90's when guys were doing multiple sports, football has become increasingly complex and the amount of memorization required is probably too much for any athlete to compete in other sports simultaneously, especially one as involved as NBA basketball.
