Much has been talked about how the Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten younger on the defensive side of the ball, and indeed, it is noteworthy. The current projected starting lineup figures to have only one player at age 30, and the average age of the defense is just 26 years and around 100 days.
Consider this, however. For as much as the offense is regarded to be young, the average age of the projected starting defense is actually younger than the average age of the projected starting offense.
Of course, this is not an apples to apples comparison, especially with the quarterback position as the major outlier.
