Just to relive what it was like having #28 would be amazing.

I want a million bucks to fall through my roof.

Doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

The guys in good shape and all, but he must be on some great medication..?

I always wondered if the NFL season only consisted of 10 games per year, would that mean less wear and tear on the athletes and allow some players to play further up into their 40's?

He's not seriously returning, but I wouldn't doubt he would make a team.

I think it's more to do with how much the guy gets injured, and how much he exercises, takes care of himself, etc...

Herschel Walker lives right, eats healthy, and exercises year round, so it's not surprising he could still play.

I think Brett Favre's season would have went much better had he went home after the championship game last year and immediatley started rehabbing/working out, etc...instead of coming back at the end of preseason all out of shape and everything.

Its why guys in MMA are still fine in their 40's, because they take care of themselves year round, keep training, etc....

couldnt he bench like 500 pounds and was a black belt too??

^^There is more chances of wear and tear that can happen with increased amount of hitting and contact. The more you do it the more likely you could get a concussion or have some other wear and tear injury.
If you limit or reduce the amount of violent contact but stay in shape and live right you can extend the life of football players. The problem is the greedy owners won't have any of it. Plus if you take away games or even if you leave it as is, the coaches will add more mandatory OTA's, as we all know there is no such thing as voluntary OTA's. Right?Also, the idea that there is no or little contact in OTA's is also a joke......right? Teams get busted every year for too much contact in non-contact OTA's.

Yea, but can he beat the Adam Richman pizza challenge?

Met the guy before and his handshake was like a deathgrip. Great shape for his age for sure when I saw him

[skinster]

The guy is on the record for multiple personality disorder. I can't see anyone taking a chance on a 49 year old who thinks he is 3 people.

I think you're all making way too much of his prior mental issues. As far as I've seen, they're way in the past and its all behind him. He seems like a competent person now.

As for physical requirements...he is kicking butt in MMA matches, I think he could still take the punishment. Too bad he indicated he wants to play for Atlanta.

I think one, maybe two, people here have made any sort of deal about his prior mental issues.

You're right, I looked back, it was mainly one person who spoke too many times.


Still, was not called for in my opinion.

He's far less crazy than a lot of current players, some who even change their names legally.

Shoot, you'd have to be crazy to play special teams!

We could use a nasty special teamer who doesn't block people in the back all the time.

Amen!

Herschel might get unnecessary roughness/headshot penalties though!
