In 2012, Rajon Rondo told Boston reporters that he could’ve been an NFL quarterback if he’d focused on a football career, instead of playing basketball. Although it always generates skepticism when a player from one sport claims that he would’ve reached the elite level of another, Rondo impressed one NFL signal-caller – New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees – in less than a handful of throws Thursday.
While tossing the football around in the Saints’ practice facility in Metairie, Rondo wowed onlookers with an extremely accurate throw, even though he barely had time to warm up.
