Willie Gault is still racing around at 48 - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=li-gault050109&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)
A bit lengthy, so I won't paste the whole thing
most NFL veterans approaching the half-century mark suffer from arthritic knees and assorted aches and pains. Most consider themselves lucky if they can golf without pain.
Compare that to Gault, who can still crack 10 seconds in the 100-yard dash, and last year ran the 40 in a blistering 4.27. Age-grading track and field tables suggest that his recent 10.80 for the 100 meters at 48 is the equivalent of 9.76 by a man in his 20s – only a step behind Usain Bolt, and fast enough for a silver medal at the Bejing Olympics.
Gault is apparently running sub 11 second 100 meter dashes at age 48. Incredible story heh.
