Terrell Owens on possible comeback: 'I know I could still play'
If you're looking for a wide receiver, T.O. knows who to call.

Terrell Owens is always quick with a good sound bite. It should come as no surprise, then, that in his most recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, TO made it clear that not only is he still in great shape, but he could still make an NFL comeback, if opportunity knocked.
"I'm ready to go right now," Owens said. When asked by Eisen if he could play every snap, Owens replied, "I'm not gonna say it's full game, but I could give you at least 75 percent of the game.
"I haven't officially retired," he continued. "Given the right opportunity, I know I could still play."
When last seen on an NFL field, Owens was suiting up for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010. He caught 72 passes for 983 yards and nine touchdowns that season, but that was five years ago. He was 36 years old for most of the year, and turned 37 in December. Now, he's 41. But as TO says, "I know I'm one of those guys that could really defy the odds. I'm not your average 41-year-old."
If he's still keeping up those driveway workouts, maybe he really is in good enough shape to play. (Just kidding, I just wanted to sneak that driveway workout clip in here.)
A possible comeback isn't all Owens went on the show to talk about. Given that TO is essentially the patron saint of outspoken football players, Eisen just had to ask him about the most recent Richard Sherman story, in which Antonio Cromartie called Sherman out for not following No. 1 receivers all over the field and said Sherman can't be considered the NFL's best cornerback because of it. (Sherman's response, in which he said Cromartie should be thanking him for the Pro Bowl spot he received last season -- Cromartie was Sherman's replacement when Seattle made the Super Bowl -- and that "We No. 1, so it must be working," was the best way he could have possibly handled it, by the way.)
But what does TO think makes someone the best corner: Following the top guy on the other team or playing as well as possible within a specific scheme?
"I say it's a little bit of both," Owens said. "To Sherman's defense: With their scheme, they won't allow him to do that. I think Sherman has that competitiveness about him and he has that swagger about him to want to do that. I think he has that athletic ability to do that as well. But again, you can only do what you're allowed to do.
"Cromartie, I'm sure he could do it. If he has or hasn't, I don't really know. But again, you can get exposed, too, traveling with some of the best receivers out there. I just don't know why it's got to be beef, every summer."
