This was cool to watch. A few thoughts:

1) He really is in pretty bad shape. He's fine for your everyday or even weekend warrior, but as a professional athlete he's got a long way to go.

2) He's got a long way to go on the throwing...looked very inconsistent and tentative. Not surprising, but he's got a lot of rust to knock off.

3) It's awesome to see him working and trying to make a comeback...I wish he had worked this hard the first time around. If anything, I hope this can be a warning for young guys to not squander the amazing opportunity they have to play in the NFL or any other professional sport.

In the end, I don't think he's going to get a chance, but I applaud his effort.

Yeah, it's a neat video, can't help but root for the multi-millionaire.

Really though, I'm only partly kidding, I like watching stuff that humanizes players a bit. So easy to dislike objects or ideas.

In a few of the shots he sure did make his trainer look like a little kid standing next to him.

If I had to stand before the court of public opinion for all the dumb stuff I did at 21/22, I'd be under a jail right now. And I was broke.

While I don't think he'll get a chance, I wish him the best of luck in his journey.

At this point I'd take Jeff Garcia still.

From my fingers to your eyes...

I'm actually go the other way and say he will have another chance. Doubt he will start, but I can see a team in need of a strong arm backup taking him. He needs two years of work though, doubt he will be on a team by the end of next season, but I can see the season after that.

Funniest part about your joke is the Jets are the only team I've heard that actually did consider bringing him in for a look (they've since changed their mind I think).
