If Owens returns, he will be the oldest player in NFL history, surpassing the late George Blanda, who was under the Oakland Raiders center at age 48 in 1975.
“Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small,” said Gregory D. L. Daniel Tell Sports Illustrated. “He’s in great shape. He doesn’t look any different than he did years ago. I’ve watched him go down the trails at top speed with DeSean [Jackson] And it looked great. He didn’t drop a pass.”
Daniel claims Owens recently ran the 4.50-yard dash – “it was his warm-up”.
Daniel added, “He’s a legend. We want to make history and see him break these records. If anyone can do it, it’s him.” “The Three Ds are Desire, Dedication, and Discipline. He embodies that every single day, even running down the hills at 3 a.m. on Christmas morning.”

Having passed over Beckham and recently signed TY Hilton to join Sir Lamb And Michael Gallup, the Cowboys just can’t seem to be in the receiver market — let alone trying to get someone who hasn’t played the NFL in dozens of years.
However, Dallas would get one of the best receivers ever.
Owens ranks third all-time in receiving touchdowns (153) behind Jerry Rice and Randy Moss, while his 15,934 yards receiving touchdowns are for Rice and Larry Fitzgerald.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018, three years after he was first qualified, after playing in the San Francisco 49ersPhiladelphia Eagles, Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals.
