Calvin Johnson, the NFL's second overall draft pick in 2007, caught his last pass on Jan. 3, 2016, exited the league and was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a first-ballot selection on Aug. 8, 2021.
He is 36 years and 34 days old.
Adrian Peterson, the seventh overall pick by the Vikings in 2007, had his last carry on Jan. 3, 2021, exited the league involuntarily for eight games and, believe it or not, is back with an AFC power that fits his throwback-era strengths perfectly.
Peterson is 36 years and 228 days old.
