Brett Favre Says He Could Still Make NFL-Level Throws at Age 47

Brett Favre hasn't played in an NFL game since 2010, but the Hall of Fame quarterback believes he could still play in the league if he wanted.

"I could still make the throws," Favre said, per TMZ. "If they promise they won't hit me, I'll play."

The 47-year-old said he would turn down any opportunity to play if approached by a team, but that is because of the physicality of the game.

"I realized after I retired that I started feeling a little bit better," Favre said. 

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford posted a video Wednesday of Favre throwing passes in a workout:

While there is still clearly a lot of zip on those throws, the three-time MVP doesn't appear willing to return to the league after a six-year absence.
