Brett Favre threw for 71,838 yards with 508 touchdowns during his legendary NFL career.Retired from the game since 2010, the Hall of Fame quarterback has stayed in good shape since hanging up his cleats, showing off his famous throwing arm over the years since he left the league.The three-time MVP, who infamously couldn’t commit to retiring a couple times, told TMZ that he stilll thinks that he could compete at the NFL level, under one condition.“I could still make the throws. If they promise they won’t hit me, I’ll play,” he said.It’s because of the hard-hitting nature of the game that he will never attempt another comeback. “I realized after I retired that I started feeling a little bit better,” he noted.Working out with Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford this week, Favre was recorded throwing some absolute rockets in casual street clothes.Check out the unreal footage below.

As you can see, Favre’s delivery was relaxed and fluid, but the ball absolutely flew out of his hands, snapping in the receiver’s gloves hard enough to hear from where the video was taken.

While these throws were on short patterns within 10-to-15 yards, you have to wonder how far Favre could throw the ball at this point in his life, given the velocity of the throws above.

This offseason, Mike Glennon, Josh McCown and Brian Hoyer all signed deals that will presumably land them starting roles in Week 1. While the rumors of NFL teams calling up Favre have gotten pretty old and outdated over the years, it’s a fair question to ask whether the three free agent signings have the arm strength to even rival the 47-year-old right now. 

However, it seems like the threat of a potential serious injury has spooked Favre out of considering a comeback.

“If I had a son, I would be very, very reluctant to let him play [football] knowing what I know now - which is not a lot. At least for us, there is still so little known about [chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the brain disease linked to repeated head hits] but what we do know is, it’s not good, especially for youth,” Favre told FOX Business in an exclusive interview this week during National Brain Injury Awareness Month. 

He added, “You have to believe that every time a kid is tackled … that she or he is doing detrimental things to his or her brain that may be irreversible. That is really scary. I would be very reluctant. I’m thankful that I have two beautiful daughters and don’t have a son and have to worry about that.”

However, as one of the game's ultimate competitors, you have to think that he would at least consider an offer for a split second if any NFL team came calling.
