Flashback: Joe Biden Claims He Could Have Made ‘It in the Pros’ and Almost Walked on to an NFL Team

TRANSCRIPT:

BIDEN: "I thought maybe I could make it in the pros, but look what happened. [Laughter][Applause] I actually was foolish enough to ask Floyd Little whether he could get his — he was a friend of mine in Syracuse — if he could get his agent to see if I could walk on. You know, 50 — every year, they allow 50 folks to walk on. [Laughter] Well, guess what? He said — he came back to me, laughed, and he said, 'My agent said they're afraid if they let you walk on, they'd have to just carry you off.'"
