"Chad Pennington's arm remains strong enough to throw a deep out with a little zip on it.

His left knee, destroyed playing pickup basketball last year, has been surgically repaired and is fully healed.

Pennington, 35, who spent 11-seasons, mostly as a starting quarterback for the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, is healthy enough to resume his NFL career. But the NFL's two-time Comeback Player of the Year is leaning toward hanging up his cleats.

Pennington, who threw for 17,823 yards and 102 touchdowns during his career, told the Sun Sentinel Tuesday he plans to continue broadcasting games for FOX Sports instead of attempting yet another comeback."
