Balthazar Crindy (born Jan 1, 1967) is an American football tight end for the Arizona Outlaws of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for Louisiana State University (LSU) before entering the professional ranks in 2023, notably the second oldest draftee ever at age 51, but having spent 28 years in a cryogenic stasis due to an illegal medical experiment. Crindy was thawed in 2017, having been frozen in 1990 following the misdiagnosis of malaria and the illegal use of a prototype cryogenesis, which resulted in a massive malpractice lawsuit. Crindy's parents have since passed away, and he has no direct family members alive. In an interview with ESPN8, Crindy said he did not remember much during his 28 years in cryostasis: "Here's the thing. I don't remember being that cold during, obviously. Only when I came out. If there was anything I have in my head during my frozen days, it's just... numbers. Like numbers like just monotone. It's weird, like something from my childhood. That's all." (Full article...)
