The several funny comments here about being too "out of shape" made me remember a guy in his 40s who was a walk on for FSU in the 1980s when Bobby Bowden was coach - no joke, this guy whose name I cannot find was an exercise fanatic and Bowden said he was in great physical shape - period.

Based on last year’s D, they might have found a spot for you anyway.

Mid 50's even in good shape would get me laughed at

Good luck to all those trying out. Maybe they will have the next Donald Thomas come in.

If I recall correctly, some football players who were playing basketball with Donald encouraged him to ask the coaches to try out. I don’t know if this was an ad hoc tryout or part of the regular process. Either way, even then he looked the part.
