NFL: Hershel Walker to Make Comeback?

Vikings fans will tell you he couldn't play in the NFL at 27.:skeptical:
I'd say he's in pretty good shape for a 49-year old. He also claims to have been clocked at 4.38 in the 40 yard dash last Feb. The guy has been a world-class athlete his entire life, is known for being a fitness junkie, is a 5th degree blackbelt in tae kwan do, etc. Probably just a pipe dream at this point, but if someone gave him a shot, I think he'd take it and probably be an effective player, even at this age.
On the internet I can run a 4.49 40. It's pretty simple.
If this is the case, Mr. Walker should enter a Master's Track Meet as this time (proportioned to 55-meters since that's the shortest race they run) would beat the current American record by nearly 1/2 second.
On a side note: Vikings management has already stated they won't trade more than five players to get Hershel this time.
Good work on the old Viking jokes everyone.
This stands no shot. Keeping in great shape and envisioning ones self as still being in the best shape of your life is a far cry from being able to actually do it. He can't. I remember Jim Palmer trying it for the O's and I think he was a couple year younger, in a game where pitchers actually can pitch in thier 40's and it was a sad sad failure.
