Todd Marinovich is attempting a comeback at the age of 48.

Marinovich last played 16 years ago for the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League. The Los Angeles Raiders released Marinovich in 1993.

Marinovich, who served as an assistant coach with the Coyotes last season, said he is "super stoked" to be competing for the starting spot against 25-year-old Jacob Russell when practice begins Aug. 10 in Indio, California.
