No he’s not preparing to swindle a team out of $16 million, but Brett Favre believes he could still play and make quality throws for an NFL franchise at the age of 45.
Favre told Sports Illustrated’s Greg Bishop that he believes he could still play in the league.
“I think I could play,” Favre said. “As far as throwing. Of course, we’re not trying to start some he’s-coming-out-of-retirement deal.”
“Do I think I could play and lead a team? Look, no. But I could play. I could make all the throws I made before, I just couldn’t throw it near as far, but that never matters anyway.”
Favre has been out of the NFL for more than four years, after finally walking away upon completion of a two-year stint with the Vikings.
Favre told Bishop that he can still throw a football 50 yards as well.
