Glen Davis Wants To Play In NFL
Glen Davis said he eventually wants to play in the NFL.
“I will try it,” said Davis, who’s on the injured list for six weeks with a broken right thumb sustained in a fight. “When I become an All-Star in the NBA, when I become a great player in the NBA, then I’ll try football. One of my dreams has always been to play football.”
Davis was a terrific two-way football player at University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge, La., starring at defensive end, defensive tackle and tailback. But he chose to hang up his cleats and accept a basketball scholarship to LSU, where he became an All-American.
“I definitely could have made it to the NFL,” Davis said.
