He was an elite athlete in the NFL, and if he's in shape, I can't see why not.  I guess the bigger question would be whether or not his body can recover in time from week to week during the season.

He will break down quick.  There's no beating father time.

Bring him in, why not he already has a key.

He’s a physical specimen... if anyone could, he may be the guy 

[Malazan]

I won't believe it unless I see the live film from his driveway

[Bing Bong]

I'm wondering why haha. He must have never had much in his life other than football and the personality/confidence that gave him

No joke, then we can switch the slogan to “Trust The Popcorn”.

 

Win/win.

He needs to go to Montreal, so that Manziel's demise will become a stone-cold lock.

No wonder they go back to Stelco when recalled from layoff...

If he somehow makes his way onto a cfl roster, and then an NFL roster, would he be the first ever pro football player to lace up while already in the HOF? I gotta say, I'd love to see that! If anyone can, it'd be him

This is my country! If you point the finger at this league and laugh, that’s unfair. It’s my country. This is my league!

Lots of guys could suit up and play one game at age 45-50 and do pretty well for themselves. TO just ran a sub 4.5 40 and looks like he is still in incredible shape. He could probably have a nice game or two before the hits took their toll and that 4.5 40 becomes a 4.8 40.

 

But as far as playing in the league full-time it doesn't work, because after that games there are 15 more games (at least). And practices, and workouts, and training sessions, all while that 45-50 year old body is trying to heal up from the last game still. Soreness lasts a lot longer. Bones and ligaments break a bit easier. Muscles pull cramp or tear a lot easier than they used to.

 

Look at Brady. He goes entire games without hardly being touched, and even still the past couple of years he has dealt with some nagging injury issues. Imagine if he actually took hits the way most QBs do, or guys at any other position do.

His skill, strength, and speed isn't really the issue. It's his body's ability to heal and recover week to week that is in question. I just don't see someone in their mod 40's having that ability.

If he had tried out and made the CFL team last year would have still been eligible for the HOF?

Seems pretty clear to me, he's trying to give the NFL the finger at the same time he goes in the HOF.
