According to multiple reports, running back Tiki Barber has filed papers with the NFL to come out of retirement. The news was confirmed by Barber’s agency (via twitter).
Barber, 35 (he turns 36 in April), retired from the NFL after the 2006 season. He has rushed for 10,449 yards in his career, eclipsing 1,000 running yards in six of his last seven seasons, including a 2006 campaign in which he earned a spot in the Pro Bowl while rushing for 1,662 yards and more than five yards per carry. Barber also has 5,183 receiving yards in his career, and was the third running back ever (along with Marshall Faulk and Marcus Allen) to join the 10,000 rushing yard, 5,000 receiving yard club.
Barber played all 10 of his NFL seasons with the Giants. After retiring from football, he was hired by NBC to appear on both the Today Show and Football Night in America. However, Barber was dropped by the network in 2010.
