Terrell Owns wants to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs and his former coach, Andy Reid. Normally, when a former soccer player in his 40s has been retired for a decade and is already inducted into the Professional Soccer Hall of Fame, I’d say a return to the NFL sounds ridiculous, but have you seen TO recently?

The Internet claims that he is 46 years old, but that cannot be exact. He appears to be half that age and says he’s practicing social distancing, so by the time NFL teams start traveling from city to city, it probably won’t seem like such a flamboyant potential weapon to Patrick Mahomes.
And that’s the thing. Andy Reid has Patrick Mahomes and he won a Super Bowl. Winning a Super Bowl and having a great all-time quarterback gives NFL coaches the ability to do whatever they want. Bill Belichick had a 43-year-old quarterback attempt (and converted) a drop kick for the first time in six decades.
Is it really so irrational to think that Patrick Mahomes could reach the final zone in 2020? If there is an NFL season, we could find out. Also, TO could break all of Tom Brady’s “records” for receptions and scrimmage yards as a player over 40. Just by stepping on the field, he became the oldest non-kicker to play an NFL game. And probably the only man who has a decade free between snapshots. TO may not be the best receiver of all time, but it may become the best footnote in history.
