Good for jerry- your only as old as you feel. 

 

Knowing how good he was and hearing what a workout freak he was (apparently still is) it’s not unfathomable he can still look competitive out there in training camp....

We will need to add a "Jerriatric" specialist to the training staff.

I consider Jerry RIce the greatest NFL player of all time.  Like Wayne Gretzky, the most important record for the position (career receiving yards) is untouchable.  However, he was 36 years old when Josh Allen was born.  He's not coming back people.

I would love be to see some of these old guys come back and actually try it. Let’s see it,  enough talk. Come back and do it.

 

I agree.  Don't say, "I could come back, I'm in great shape, blah blah."  DO IT!

If TO wasn't such a negative locker room personality, I'd love to see if he could do it somewhere.  Not sure if its possible at this stage of his life, but if he really ran a 4.4 he might be able to play somewhere.  Maybe try CFL?

You can feel the breeze generated by neurologists nationwide shaking their head left to right in unison.

 

Sure he can run fast - but for every 15 years after the age of 24, cognitive speed drops by 15%.

 

Memory, reasoning, information processing speed and accuracy at his age is a shadow of what it was when he was playing in the 80s, probably even since he last played in 2004.  

 

Add those deficiences on top of getting your bell rung from a good hit and it's likely he'd be back in the huddle not knowing why he's there.
