FOXBOROUGH — Calvin Anderson buried the lead.
Toward the end of his media meeting Thursday, the Patriots offensive tackle threw out this little nugget, rather nonchalantly:
“I can solve a Rubik’s Cube behind my back.”
OK, forget the football X’s and O’s for an offseason moment; this is a factoid that must be investigated further.
A mathematical economics major at Rice and Texas, Anderson has always loved numbers, and he translated that into a unique way to solve the popular puzzle game.
“My rookie year [2019], I actually signed a brand ambassadorship with Rubik’s — first pro athlete ever,” Anderson said.
