Nearly 50 years old, could Willie Gault still play in the NFL?

The most intriguing free agent in pro football has 333 career receptions for 6,635 yards (19.9 yards per catch) and 44 touchdowns. He is one of the elite kick returners to ever play the game, and boasts the sort of athleticism that evokes names like Bo and Herschel and Thorpe (and makes Terrell Owens look like Kurt Sohn). Most important, he is as smooth as a chocolate swirl, and word has it he dances a little funky.

lol, baseball and football are the only sports where you can be 50 and still play

Totally disagree, it would go baseball, basketball, soccer, football in terms of still being effective at an old age.

Soccer? At 50? LOL

 

Goalkeepers are done at 40 in soccer.

 

Basketball, nah. Mutombo was finished at 42.

Lol and this is the first time I've ever heard of a guy able to play football at 50.

 

People say Jordan could return and still be effective in basketball

You'll never hear of a soccer player playing in the 50s.

 

you never hear of anyone in any sport actually playing in the 50's. soccer is no different. you get the occasional insane person in every sport who tries to do it, but it never works
