Brett Favre thinks he's still good enough to play in the NFL

Brett Favre is 45-years-old and hasn’t played in the NFL since his ill-fated final season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2010, but he still thinks he could make a solid NFL quarterback.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated for its “Where are they now?” issue, which features Favre on the cover donning a Green Bay jersey for the first time in eight years, the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards says that while the arm strength might not be there anymore, he still has the accuracy.

According to the SI interview:

“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.”
