Xmad Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I think he could for maybe like 10 snaps before he realizes "I'm too old for this sh**" He'd probably break a hip on the field but he could "play" probably not well but we've seen stranger things at this point.

I bet he could still catch at least, but yeah I think a LB would destroy him at some point pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 It would be hilarious to see Rice beat some twenty something year old for a touchdown though. They would never live it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Rice won't return to the NFL and he would be very bad if he tried to. He is the GOAT WR, but there is no way he could play in the NFL today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramxel Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Guy makes a couple of jokes, and suddenly it's news... I'm sure he likes to keep his mystique and keep saying yes to a hypothetical return, but everyone (himself included) know it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superduperman Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I bet he could go for a week or two strictly as a guy who runs real short routes and finds a little space here and there. For a handful of plays. After that he'd run out of gas so bad he wouldn't be able to even prepare correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go; Rice...at his age....in the slot? Drops the ball immediately when he realizes that he can't use the same hand techniques that he used back in the day and then decides to go across the middle until he sees a 225lb safety built like 250 pound weightlifter ready to level his brittle 50 year old ***.
