From 2013, former Eagle William Thomas taking a stab at officiating.

At age 45 time is not on his side, unless he show the skills and the NFL wants to fast track him.

Anyone know of his process?

When they have talked about the former players delving into officiating training, the implication is always that they could be fast tracked to the NFL. I think the reality is that they would still need to show they are willing to work the lower levels for several years. If the candidate is focused on being an official in the NFL, he is the last person I would want to be an official in the NFL. They must be serious about working in the trenches at the lower levels.
