Tom Brady’s Peers Are Getting Older. He Can’t Relate.

ST. PAUL — On Saturday night, five years after the final game of his 14-season career, Randy Moss will almost certainly be announced as a new member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. On Sunday, Tom Brady, the quarterback who helped revitalize Moss’s career in 2007, will be on the field at U.S. Bank Stadium in search of his sixth Super Bowl ring with the New England Patriots.

To call Brady ageless is a cliché. But with many of his contemporaries in retirement — Moss is less than six months older — Brady, 40, shows no signs of physical decline and seems to have adopted a style of play generally associated with younger quarterbacks.
