He's not seriously returning, but I wouldn't doubt he would make a team.

I think it's more to do with how much the guy gets injured, and how much he exercises, takes care of himself, etc...
Herschel Walker lives right, eats healthy, and exercises year round, so it's not surprising he could still play.
I think Brett Favre's season would have went much better had he went home after the championship game last year and immediatley started rehabbing/working out, etc...instead of coming back at the end of preseason all out of shape and everything.
Its why guys in MMA are still fine in their 40's, because they take care of themselves year round, keep training, etc....
