Final Four basketball star DJ Burns Jr. says “Zero” chance he will play football after the season
There has been some hype over NC State big man DJ Burns Jr., who stands at 6’9 and weighs 275 pounds, but he is not very interested in playing anything but basketball.
The Final Four superstar included reports that NFL scouts have watched his nimble footwork and suggested he might be an intriguing prospect for the league.
Burns said he did, indeed, play football when he was younger.
“Until I got my first scholarship offer (for basketball), and then I quit immediately,” Burns said.
I personally think Burns Jr. should get a shot in the NBA, he has a great touch and is a big boy with moves. He is tough to guard.
