Terrell Owens has seemingly spent more time trying to make it back into the NFL that his actual career where he dazzled fans and made it to the hall of fame as a result.
Eleven years since he last played in a regular-season game, Owens still wants back in at age 47.
The Hall of Fame receiver told TMZ.com that he still has it.
“There’s no doubt, 100 percent, that I can play in the National Football League today,” Owens said.
Owens also claimed one “individual” in the league told Owens to remain in shape, and that he possibly could get a shot.
“With that conversation that I had, they asked me to keep myself in shape — anything can happen,” Owens told TMZ.com. “And, so, that’s what I’m doing.”

It’s highly unlikely that Owens will resurface in the league, but if Tom Brady can play at 44 and Tim Tebow can get a chance, who knows?
Owens, a third-round pick of the 49ers way back in 1996, played for San Francisco, Philadelphia, Dallas, Buffalo, and Cincinnati.
