    Darrell Green was a rarity - he could have probably medaled at the Olympics as a sprinter into his 40s.

    And Dorsett ran a 4.3 40. That's how fast Darrell Green was and he caught Dorsett from way behind downfield. The announcers were stunned.

    Green still had that speed when he retired and could have played 5 more years. He was a freak! Only football player that age didn't catch up with his speed!

    I still can’t believe he was 42 when he retired and he was still playing well. Most kickers don’t last to that age

    ….with that getting old is not recommended
