Have you ever debated your friends about the NFL's best young players? Or maybe wondered about the top players ... who are older than you? Well, so did we.
We set out to pick the best active football players at as many ages as possible, spanning the NFL, college and high school. We tapped NFL analyst Matt Bowen, draft analyst Jordan Reid and ESPN high school recruiting coordinator Billy Tucker to make their selections, leaning in on how dominant each player is right now. The result is 27 players, hitting ages 40 through 14.
The best player at age 40 was easy to pick, because three-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers is making his comeback from an Achilles injury.
