Hunter2_1 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 PFF just dropped this list of the top 10 35+ year old players. Do you agree? What changes would you make? 1. Tom Brady 2. Drew Brees 3. Jason Peters 4. Ben Roethlisberger 5. Andrew Whitworth 6. Philip Rivers 7. Terrell Suggs 8. Larry Fitzgerald 9. Cameron Wake 10.

I guess if you're putting him in there, it will be instead of Grimes. They said Grimes has been crucial to TBs pass defence, and has had a very impressive late bloom to his career. I have no idea if that's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pass defense was a joke last year. the Only QB that struggled against them was Hundley last year, but then he'd struggle against a High School defense.

Grimes has lost a step. But he's still pretty good. His athleticism is still ridiculous and he's got great instincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Grimes I'd put Fitz higher on the list. Guy was #2 in receptions last season with a sub par cast at QB - that's incredible given his age.

TheVillain112 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I don't see a lot to complain about with that list. Thomas Davis is 35 years old, so I'm guessing he didn't qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
