With Tom Brady set to play in his 10th Super Bowl at the age of 43 years old, there is obviously a lot of focus right now being paid to some players who were able to maintain a high level of play deep into their careers, perhaps even pushing past the point at which it was conventionally believed one could do so at a given position.
Pro Football Focus recently created an ‘All-Old Man Team’, an obviously slightly tongue-in-cheek honor list, celebrating some of the best performances of the PFF era (when they began charting the NFL in 2006), essentially creating an All-Pro team for the aged over the course of the past 15 years.
