I'm just curious which positions have the longest life-span. O-Line? QB?
Anyone have any data on the subject?
Thinking specifically of our OT's, Light is 30 and Kaczur is 29. Not old, imo, but how long can they be expected to do a good job?
Both lines-I'm not sure why, but if they're 35, they're still well in their primes. I guess it's b/c playing either line has got to do more with size and experience, not so much speed.
That's what I was thinking. You have to have speed in todays NFL outside the trenches. ILB or TE can get away with playing a few extra years too.
QB must be the next longest outside of kickers as they are not allowed to be hit anymore.
