DeAndre Hopkins

2 Aug , 2024
In the last 10 years, only three wide receivers who were at least 32 years old have finished with top-10 numbers. It hasn’t happened in five years (since Julian Edelman in 2019)...

Nobody RBs

1 Aug , 2024

Older WRs

Running quarterbacks

Roman Wilson

Wilson didn’t post big numbers at Michigan, but I think that speaks more to how he was used rather than a lack of ability...

Steelers ground game
