MANKATO, Minn. -- As you might have heard, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady turned 40 on Thursday. Although it won't garner nearly the fanfare, an equally impressive birthday is looming for a quiet veteran on the Minnesota Vikings.

And while Brady has publicly advocated his plant-based diet and extensive exercise/recovery regimen, Newman said the secret to his longevity his simpler.
