This chart is a little confusing as they equate oldest with a 1 and youngest a 32. But it breaks down age by unit for each team unlike most other charts.

Detroit is the oldest with the Rams being the youngest team as of Aug 31st.

I would have guessed that our def. would have been much younger than the offence
Saints at 13 is meh. Is the best place to be in the middle?
Der bears are the second oldest team.

As to the difference of just over 2 years between all teams the writter says this:

[quote]Every year I do this, I seem to get the same basic comment, which I'll address ahead of time.

"The difference between the Rams and Lions is only 2.17 years. Big whoop."

It most certainly is a big whoop. Keep in mind that these are the average ages of 53 players per team.

2.17 years on average * 53 players = A difference of 115 total years between the Rams and Lions.

In other words, if you took the 23 oldest Lions and shaved 5 years off each of their ages, their roster would be the same age as the Rams.
