Terrell Owens trying to make a comeback to the NFL at the age 49?
Terrell Owens is 49 years old, and there are reports coming out that his agent has been in constant communication with the Dallas Cowboys about a possible return to the Star.
You cannot make this story up here folks, but the 49-year old Hall of Famer, that played from 2006-2008 with the Cowboys has had communication with the team about a return.
“Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small,” Gregory D.L. Daniel told Sports Illustrated. “He’s in outstanding shape. He looks no different than he did years ago. I watched him running routes full-speed with DeSean [Jackson] and he looked great. He didn’t drop a pass.”
His agent told Sports Illustrated he still runs a 4.50 forty yard dash as a warm up.
“He’s a legend. We want to make history and see him break these records. If anybody can do it, it’s him,” Daniel added. “His three Ds are desire, dedication and discipline. He embodies that every day, even running hills at 3 a.m. on Christmas morning.”
If Owens does get a shot to come back he will surpass George Blanda as the oldest NFL player ever. Bland was 48 playing for the Raiders back in 1975.
What do you think? Does T.O. still have it?
