In a lot of ways, age is becoming more relative in our society. With advances in medicine, nutrition and training, people seem to age at different speeds despite their biological age being a set factor.
For the upcoming NFL draft, age is an interesting discussion. Due to COVID-related issues, many players entering this year’s draft will be a little older than in the past.
While age is only one factor in evaluating a player, it can be an important one. While most teams are hoping to get production from a draft pick for at least the first four years, they are planning for the second contract possibilities. Prospects who are already 23 would be 27 or 28 when up for their second deal.
