In an interview with NFL Network's Albert Breer, Burress said a lifetime of experience playing football will be more than enough to get him ready, even though he missed the last two seasons while he was incarcerated. "I don't really think anything really will be difficult for me to get back to at all," Burress said. "I've been doing it for a long time. I've been playing football since I was 7 years old, back in 1984, and these are the only two seasons that I've missed. I have a great knowledge of this game, how to play it, I'm in a great scheme, I'm in a great offense, great organization, surrounded by more talent than anybody can ask for. I'm in a beautiful situation. ..." Still, as PFT's Michael David Smith suggests, the biggest question might not be whether Burress can shake off two years of prison. It may be whether the soon-to-be 34-year old (next week) can shake off two years of aging. ... We'll all find that out soon enough.
