quote:
Santonio Beard played at Alabama from 2000-02. He was recruited by Mike Dubose but saw the field during his sophomore and junior seasons under Dennis Franchione, recording a combined 1,526 total yards and 16 touchdowns over that span.

Beard’s best season came in 2002 when he ran for 811 yards and 12 touchdowns on 165 carries while adding another 75 yards on five receptions. The highlight of that year came during a 42-7 victory over Ole Miss in which he ran for 138 yards and five touchdowns. His five scores on the ground tied the school’s single-game record, matching Shaun Alexander’s mark against BYU in 1998. Beard is also remembered for his 199 rushing yards during Alabama's 31-7 victory over Auburn in the 2001 Iron Bowl.

I think once you turn 40 you can be labeled as a "former athlete"

"I think once you turn 40 you can be labeled as a "former athlete"" Tell that to 40, 41, and 42 year old Tom Brady
