Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Lauds Anthony Edwards’ Offseason Workouts

Anthony Edwards has become well-known for working hard in the offseason. It has been the key to his personal growth over the years, as evidenced by his development from a non-shooter to the most prolific three-point shooter in the 2024-25 season.

Before the 2025 Playoffs ended, Edwards vowed that he would work hard in the offseason. He is delivering on that promise by working out alongside the NFL's Minnesota Vikings in the offseason.

The Timberwolves are in for a massive 2025 offseason. This involves significant Kevin Durant trade rumors moving to Minnesota, but that has not taken away from Edwards' hard work behind the scenes.

Most people are not aware of what Edwards does during the offseason. However, the Minnesota Vikings' general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, has revealed that Edwards is working with the NFL team during his offseason from the NBA.

Adofo-Mensah Is In Awe Of Edwards' Work Ethic

Everyone in the state of Minnesota will know Anthony Edwards because he is the best player on the Timberwolves. He is proud to represent the state, and he is doing well as one of the best players in the NBA.

Despite his bombastic nature, Edwards is quite a humble player. He loves giving his teammates credit for wins, even though he had the standout performance. After the Timberwolves' loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, he vowed that he would work harder than anyone else.

That is happening with his workouts with the Vikings, as Adofo-Mensah detailed. The Vikings' general manager shared some insights about Edwards during an interview with CBS. 

"You know what? Anthony Edwards just came through yesterday. He was doing some offseason work. In person, for him to move like that, not until you walk up to him, you won't notice how big he is," Adolfo-Mensah said on CBS' With the First Pick podcast. "He would be pretty interesting as a big-bodied wide receiver, maybe an H-back. He's a talented athlete, and it was so cool to see him up close. He had the same type of personality that Justin (Jefferson) had."

Edwards Is Locked In For The NBA 2025-26 Season

With the Timberwolves offseason in full swing, the players have nothing to do but work hard and relax during their downtime. They are watching the NBA Finals between the Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, which will serve as their motivation.

The Thunder had a resounding victory over them, so they are ensuring that won't happen again. Of course, the Timberwolves front office must step up and help the team, but the players will also do their best to work hard and improve their game.

Edwards is one of those players because he is the superstar, but he still needs some work on his game. He could be more diverse with his offense. There is so much room left to grow for Edwards, and he is doing everything he can to close the gap between the Timberwolves and the Thunder.
