Sayings like “It’s never too late to follow your dreams” at times can feel like empty platitudes… Until you look up and see a 58-year-old man just walk onto a college football team. I’m talking bout grinding through camp, bonding in the locker room, and even securing his very own NIL deal! Now look bro, if you’ve been around, you know that this ain’t the first OG to dust off the cleats. Joe Thomas Sr. was out there toting the rock for South Carolina State at 55 years old. Tom Green beat stage 4 Cancer and is dusting off his cleats at 60 years old. They just made a whole movie about Mike Flynt, who dusted off his cleats to play one last season for Sul Ross State. He was 59 years old. But the main difference between them and Tom Cillo was the fact that he never had any cleats to dust off. He was filled with regret because he never actually played football when he was young. So at dang near 60, he’s tryna teach an old body some brand new tricks.
