Steven Adams can throw down a mean dunk, but can he throw a touchdown pass?

The Oklahoma City big man and teammate Andre Roberson joined a local high school football team for a practice session as part of the Thunder's community work.

The two, complete with pads and helmets, took snaps at quarterback for the Heritage Hall team.

Adams would be a presence on any football field standing at a towering seven feet, but even he felt the pressure as he rushed his first pass attempt to his NBA team mate.

"I got scared, that was too soon," Adams said laughing.

The Kiwi even had a crack at playing under center and wide receiver.
