If Owens returns, he would be the oldest player in NFL history, surpassing George Blanda, who was under the Oakland Raiders’ center at age 48 in 1975.
«Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small,» Gregory DL Daniel told Sports Illustrated. «He’s in great shape. He doesn’t look any different than he did years ago. I watched him run sprint routes with DeSean [Jackson] and it looked great. She didn’t drop a pass.»
Daniel claims that Owens recently ran a 4.50 40-yard dash, «which was his warm-up.»
«He’s a legend. We want to make history and see him break these records. If anyone can do it, it’s him,» added Daniel. «His three D’s from him are desire, dedication and discipline. He embodies that every day, even running down hills at 3am on Christmas morning.»

After passing on Beckham and signing TY Hilton recently to go along with CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, it doesn’t seem like the Cowboys are in the market for receivers, let alone trying to land one who hasn’t played in the NFL in a while. dozen years. .
However, the Cowboys would be hosting one of the greatest receivers of all time.
He ranks third all-time in receiving touchdowns (153) behind Jerry Rice and Randy Moss, as does his 15,934 receiving yards, trailing only Rice and Larry Fitzgerald.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018, three years after he was first eligible, after playing for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.
