Green Bay Packers roster by the numbers: youngest player, oldest, tallest, most Pro Bowls
Wanna feel old?
The Green Bay Packers famously lost Super Bowl XXXII to the underdog Denver Broncos on Jan. 25, 1998, a crushing defeat in Wisconsin sports history.
The average Green Bay Packer on this year's team was born right about that same time.
After cutdowns and the addition of two new waiver claims, the Packers had an average age of 25.0 years, the youngest of any NFL team this season.
Who's oldest? Who's youngest? And what other nuggets can you find inside the context of this year's 53-man roster? Let's explore.
Oldest players, starting with David Bakhtiari
David Bakhtiari, offensive tackle, 31 years, 11 months
Preston Smith, linebacker, 30 years, 9 months
De'Vondre Campbell, linebacker, 30 years, two months
Dallin Leavitt, safety, 29 years, 0 months, three weeks
Rasul Douglas, cornerback, 29 years, 0 months, 0 weeks
The Packers' two-time All-Pro tackle arrived in 2013 and has a career 130 games under his belt. NFL rosters have an average of 3.3 players on them that are 32 years or older, so the Packers are a major outlier here. Although, there are two teams with nobody older than 30 years old.
The Bengals' oldest player is Ted Karras (age 30), but the roster has an average of 25.4 years. The Colts have two 30-year-olds on their roster in long snapper Luke Rhodes and center Ryan Kelly, but the roster average is 25.3 years.
With six players at age 32 or older, the Jets are tied with the Panthers for most in the league.
