    Pretty incredible to see him look more stout than guys 20 years younger than him.

    Still....
    At his age, I just don't know how long he'd last in the current league of flying missiles on defense. National Concussion League.

    Texans could always use another tight end.

    He is in incredible shape but I think fighting a couple of MMA fights a year is very different than the grind of an NFL training camp, preseason, and post season.

    It's not about playing, it's about healing between games.

    MMA training camps are pretty freaking brutal.

    But, to be fair, he's not 20 years old than the guy he just fought. I think Scott Carson is 41 or so and has just returned from like a 10 year hiatus from MMA.

    Don't forget the 1500 push-ups and 2000 sit-ups.

    Exactly. I'm sure he'd be great for a game or two. But then he'd have to recover and play another in a week. It's a lot easier to recover when you have 4-6 months before your next fight.

    Muscles can be toned, but old bones are old bones.
