Your only chance is too send a tape of yourself to the organization showing what you can do. You have to use something that will catch their eye. If you don't get their attention with it then you have no chance to hear back because they get tapes all the time. You have a better shot at sending tapes to all teams instead of your favorite. At least then you can play the numbers games and up your odds.
Another suggestion is to contact Arena Football teams and Canadian Football teams. This will get you in playing shape and also help you in accumulating tape time. The NFL uses these leagues as well as NFL Europe as developmental leagues but you would have to stand out in order to make an NFL roster.
Your age is going to hurt you as you don't have much time by NFL standards to develop any further. your abilities will start to decline in the next few years as you have already peaked.

I am not trying to be unkind, but there are three big problems.
1) You are not fast enough for NFL running back. That 40 time needs to be 4.5 or under.
2) You are too old. For the Eagles especially, 29 is ancient.
3) You have no experience.

i'm an eagles fan, and that i've got confidence that they are going to be a wild card group and lose in the 1st around of the playoffs. With their shielding backs this year they ought to be waiting to play nicely against the Cowboys and the Giants who have been the two ultimate communities in that branch final year. additionally, the destiny seems good for the Eagles, Brian Dawkins and Donanvon McNabb are the only commencing gamers, (not which is composed of the offensive lineman), that are older than 30.

First ask Mark Walburg. Second, you may be tooo old. RB career goes on a decline around the age of 30. Plus you have no experience, so my advice is, try the arena league or Canada.

That Madden answer was crazy funny. I cant stop laughin about that. My only change on that would be, make it xbox 360 instead of PS3. Good one though.
Oh yeah, I reread the question. They dont need help at RB. Westbrook is pretty dang good.

Contact the Green Bay Packers.
Why don't you ask the Philadelphia Eagles what their policy is for walk-ons?

Contact the Eagles organization to see what you have to do to tryout and if you can hopefully you can make it or at least the practice squad
