March 22 (UPI) -- Anybody need an experienced quarterback?

Brett Favre isn't likely to come out of retirement again, but he sure can still sling the football. Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford practiced with the legendary gunslinger Wednesday.

During the throwing sessions, the 47-year-old throws missiles so hard you can hear the slap of the football smacking gloves. It sounds similar to a truck hitting a concrete wall.

The workout took place at Traction Sports Performance in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Several college athletes have been working out at the facility, while being advised by former LSU safety Ryan Clark.

They are preparing for the NFL Draft from April 27 through April 29.

Favre, a 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, hasn't played since the 2010 season with the Minnesota Vikings. He had an estimated throwing speed of 63 mph during his playing days.
