I highly doubt it. The guy has lost like 100 pounds and in my opinion has great stuff to make it as a broadcaster. I don't know why he'd want to get back in game shape to play OL. He's still young at 32 though, so who knows.

Yeah, dude weighs like 230 now. He looks great, but I think his playing days are over.

Doc I've got a kid like that to a degree. She only wants romin or a filet (rare I may add). My family has a Christmas tradition that we do a seafood gumbo (my mom grew up in New Orleans and is an AMAZING cook). So her whole life Kiara would never try it and this year (my brothers and I got together made it and divided it up and didn't do our huge gathering which sucked) she said I guess I'll try it. She ended up eating 3 bowls that night and wanted every night until it was gone.

Was kind of bitter sweet for me. I was thrilled she expanded what she would eat, but hated I didn't have as much.

230 is a nice weight for a Fullback ... Long likes to hit people, and a Fullback's main job is to do just that to lead the way for the RB ... not sure how good his hands are for pass catching, but do think it would be cool to find out ... maybe even give him Plank's old number since Plank was another who loved to hit people

Fullback Kyle Long, #46, clearing the way to the endzone

But he loves Calamari..

I can't get my 3 year old grandson to eat any meat at all, not even seafood. Time flies man, I can't believe I turn 50 in a few weeks. :?

Welcome to 50+ club and good job on weight loss. I'm working myself back from injuries. 2020 was awful. Got tendonitis in my left elbow that was so bad I couldn't ride a bike as my hand positioning made my arm scream the whole time. So I upped my running and rolled my ankle. Tried to come back too soon and ended up screwing up my hamstring and it gave me fits.

So I was sidelined from basically June through the rest of year. I'm a "big eater" as i still stay active enough I burn off whatever I eat. Throw in "COVID boredom eating" and the holidays and by the time Christmas was gone, I was up to 192 from 164. My leg finally lets me do a little but I know my mindset and if I go outside and run or ride, I'll go all "Ricky Bobby" and end up messing it up again. So I'm breaking down to splitting time on a treadmill (up to about 30 minutes at an 8:30 pace (typically run at about a 7:15 when healthy) and follow up with another 30 minutes on an eliptical. Dropped back down to 179 as of today.

Oh but on the topic at hand. I don't think he will make it back and if he does hasn't he basically said he was fired and would never play for Nagy?

So if he does come back it would likely be for someone else.

Better than going streaking in the quad like Frank the Tank.
