As all 32 NFL teams trimmed their rosters to 53 players on Tuesday, a new franchise emerged as the league’s youngest heading into the ’22 season.
The Philly Voice gathered data on the average age of every team’s 53-man roster and found that the Browns are the NFL’s youngest team with an average age of 25. The NFL’s oldest team, the Buccaneers (27.1 average age), is not much of a surprise considering one of the oldest yet greatest players in the game leads the team, quarterback Tom Brady.
However, Cleveland, who held the spot as the youngest team entering the 2017 season, is the fifth different franchise in the last six seasons to be the youngest team. In ’18, the Bengals held the spot, followed by the Dolphins in ’19, the Jaguars in ’20 and the Jets in ’21.
