Tom Brady may have hinted that he wants to stick around the NFL until he's 45, but Adam Vinatieri is already living that aspiration - and he's not putting an expiration date on anything.
Vinatieri, 45 and going into his 23rd season, is still happily kicking along. Of course, kickers can have a long shelf life - George Blanda, the oldest to have played in the NFL, played until he was 48, retiring with the Oakland Raiders in 1976. He kicking and quarterbacked for the likes of Paul "Bear" Bryant at Kentucky, before Bryant went to Texas A&M, let alone Alabama.
