Former Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett has heard the public's clamor for him to return and responded to his fans who wanted to see him back on the gridiron. He jokingly proceeded to run some drills to see for himself if he can still run it back in the league, four years after he officially hanged his cleats, via a video posted on Twitter.

The Florida native spent nine seasons playing on the gridiron ever since he was drafted in 2008 until he retired in 2016 where he saw himself become a tenured journeyman in the league. His roller-coaster career was filled with multiple short stints which started with the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, followed by a return trip to the Seahawks which lasted from 2008 to 2011.
After he was left unsigned by the team, he then took his talents to the Houston Texans and packed his bags to the Jacksonville Jaguars after a single season. His most successful campaign was with the Ravens back in 2014 where he earned his lone Pro Bowl appearance after tallying 1,266 rushing yards on 235 carries and eight touchdowns scored in 16 games played.
Forsett was eventually released by Baltimore in 2016 and landed with the Detroit Lions who replicated the same feat regarding his contract. He was then claimed off waivers by the Denver Broncos before officially retiring by the end of the 2016 NFL season.
His former team in the Ravens recently saw their primary ball-carriers in Mark Ingram and rookie J.K. Dobbins test positive for COVID-19 which now leaves the squad with two other running backs available to suit up in their Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, Justin Forsett has hilariously shown that he is already done with his NFL career.
