49ers legend Terrell Owens is 48-years old and returning to pro football

No, your reading comprehension has not receded, former San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver (and 2018 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame) Terrell Owens is coming out of retirement to play pro football. According to a report by Reuters Sports Editor Frank Pingue, Owens is joining the FCF Zappers of the Fan Controlled Football league.

Owens is 48 years old and has not played in a regular-season NFL game since he tore his ACL during the 2011 offseason. During the prior season, though, Owens put up a respectable statline, hauling in 72 receptions for 983 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns with the Cincinnati Bengals.
