July 29, 200917 yr This is not a joke: 41-year old Jeff George (the top pick in 1990 - yes 1990) is going to make an NFL comeback... http://illinihq.com/news/football/2009/07/26/jeff_george_open_to_nfl_return/ "I feel like I can still play, and if there's someone out there to give me a shot, that would be wonderful," George said last week on his way back home to Indianapolis from one of his frequent trips to Champaign, where he tutors Atkins and a couple of other young area quarterbacks. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
July 29, 200917 yr Illinois coach Ron Zook said he was wowed by George's workout, said he looked like a 25-year-old. The video of the workout is making the rounds among NFL personnel executives. I would not be surprised to see him back in an NFL or UFL jersey this year.
July 29, 200917 yr Author Illinois coach Ron Zook said he was wowed by George's workout, said he looked like a 25-year-old. The video of the workout is making the rounds among NFL personnel executives. I would not be surprised to see him back in an NFL or UFL jersey this year. That is awesome. I would be very intrigued to watch him play. It should be about time for a Vinny Testaverde comeback. See Ryan Leaf, you still had hope, but you shot yourself in the foot!
July 29, 200917 yr Author Always been a stellar teammate as well. He's "outgrown" that by now - surely.
July 29, 200917 yr That is awesome. I would be very intrigued to watch him play. It should be about time for a Vinny Testaverde comeback. See Ryan Leaf, you still had hope, but you shot yourself in the foot! Technically, that was Plaxico. Leaf took the pain pills.:lol:
July 29, 200917 yr Author Technically, that was Plaxico. Leaf took the pain pills.:lol: Oh yeah :clap:
July 29, 200917 yr He's always had the talent, the question marks were above the shoulders. Brad Johnson and Vinnie Testaverde have been able to stick in the league past 40, but both of those guys have been known to be good teammates. I'd be suprised if he made a team.
July 29, 200917 yr Think about it... he is probably better than the bottom quarter of the backups in the league now. He's got one of the strongest arms in league history. Not a starter but could be a backup coming in.
July 29, 200917 yr If everything looks as good as everyone says on the video and he can really back it up during an nfl season I'd take a chance on signing him, especially if I have a young developing qb. You get him for almost nothing, and you bring him in as a third or second teammer. I wouldn't fill too strongly about him leading my team into the playoffs, but I do feel strongly about him holding the clipboard.
July 29, 200917 yr Technically, that was Plaxico. Leaf took the pain pills.:lol: Well technically, Plaxico shot himself in the thigh. Not the foot.
July 29, 200917 yr Hey Cincy...sign Jeff George as a backup QB...would make the upcoming Hard Knocks HBO show that much more interesting!!!
July 29, 200917 yr Author In shocking news, the Bengals released a statement today that they are NOT interested in signing Mike Vick. I couldn't believe it.

July 29, 200917 yr Author Did you receive this through Ocho Cinco's Sideline tweets? I don't know where it was originally announced, but I read it in the Herald Leader this morning. Lewis added that he "Loves to help players that have had problems.." or something along those lines, but the QB position is like a queen bee and they don't need the chemistry problems.
