Brett Favre came out of retirement to throw laser passes to Robert Alford

He’s still got some zip on the pigskin.

by Harry Lyles Jr.

Brett Favre isn’t coming back to play in the NFL anytime soon (we think), but that doesn’t mean he has to stop slinging the pill.

He joined Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford and others in workouts, where he was throwing some passes with serious zip on them still at age 47.

Favre wasn’t totally dressed up for the drills, in a brown t-shirt and some khakis, but he still has a little something.

I don’t think I’d want to be in front of one of those.
