Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is one of the best recruiters in the league.
After all, who wouldn’t want to play with a guy that puts you in a position to win a championship?
Just look at how the 2020 Buccaneers panned out even if they hadn’t been together for too long.
Brady enticed the likes of Rob Gronkowski, Leonard Fournette, Antonio Brown, and Ndamukong Suh to join him.
At first, they struggled to build their chemistry and played below their capabilities.
But once they got their footing, the team won Super Bowl LV, the franchise’s second title.
This time, Brady is trying his recruiting power once again by persuading an NBA player to give football a chance.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is seen running full speed before catching a football.
To which Brady responded, “Ant I know the money is good but you’re playing the wrong sport bro.”
Brady Is Just Playing With Edwards
There’s no chance that Edwards will suddenly become a two-sport athlete because his basketball prowess is starting to flourish.
He improved his averages from his rookie year to 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game in his second season.
Likewise, his popularity is growing due to his part in the Netflix movie “Hustle.”
He also signed a fully-guaranteed four-year, $44.2 million deal with the Timberwolves which is higher than what Travon Walker signed after becoming the top overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.
While it’s good that Edwards possesses football skills, he won’t leave basketball to join an NFL team.
Nice try though, Brady, for trying to recruit “Ant-Man.”
Besides, the Buccaneers have one of the best receiving corps in the league with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Russell Gage.
