It would be the comeback of the century..
When Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mark Clayton retired in 1993, no one thought of a possible comeback and return to the league. But now, a new series of tweets from Clayton indicate that he is trending towards a comeback. It's been now 26 years since the former wide receiver was targeted by Packers quarterback Brett Favre, but don't rule him out just yet.
On Tuesday, Clayton took to Twitter and said, "I am eyeing a return to the NFL."
It's a cryptic message, and analysts aren't one-hundred percent sure how to interpret it, but it is becoming more and more likely that we could see 83 running fly routes downfield in 2019.
If Clayton returned, here are some potential landing spots:
Pittsburgh Steelers: The steel city could use a number 2 wideout to help Mason Rudolph finish the season strong and further solidify himself in the MVP conversation.
Dallas Cowboys: Jerry Jones loves to take risks, but he would be at ease knowing the 58-year old veteran would bring his A game every week.
Ottawa Senators: Clayton could bring a lot to the table here if he were to dip his toe into the NHL, and Ottawa would be an excellent place for him to land. The team is in the middle of a rebuild, and are continuously bringing in young talent along with a few veterans to round out the team. It would be a terrific spot for Clayton to develop, and hopefully compete at an advanced level within the next six years.
