The Patriots have picked up an old wide receiver- what are the odds they can teach him new tricks?
So the New England Patriots have signed 36-year-old Reggie Wayne, turning 37 on November 17th. How many wide receivers can say they've changed teams after they turned 36? How many have had success?
Well, funny you should ask that specific question, because I have the answer.
Fourteen receivers, with at least one reception at the age of 36, have changed teams and recorded another reception at an older age. Six are in the Hall of Fame, with a seventh (Terrell Owens) on the way.
