16 years. Wow. he was a '4-term President on the gridiron' and played to much acclaim. Not bad for a kid out of Mississippi.. He could play.

He is still my hero.
Most players his age are living on Vicodin & barely able to pee every day unassisted.
He has a mental & physical toughness that most of the NFL will NEVER see again.
