Former NFL WR and Olympic gold medalist Willie Gault will turn 50 in September. He runs a 4.40 40. To put that in perspective, if he ran at the 2010 Combine, he would have been tied for 5th with the fasted time.
He also thinks he can still play at the NFL level.
In a new article by Jeff Pearlman for Sports Illustrated, Willie talks about his fitness regime. “I might have an oatmeal raisin cookie once in a while, but I don’t live to eat. I eat to live. I treat my body like a temple, because it’s the only one I have, and I want to use it as long as possible.”
About his speed? “Chris Johnson is faster, Reggie Bush too. But save for those two and maybe two or three others, I’m right there.”
On the NFL? “I know the idea of a 50-year-old in the NFL is crazy. I know it’s improbable. But speed is speed.”
