The 33rd Team crunched the numbers and found the Green Bay Packers’ season-opening roster is the youngest in the NFL. Here is the breakdown.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers were the youngest team in the NFL last season and one of the youngest in NFL history to win a playoff game. With just one player older than 30 on the roster and with an influx of another rookie class, they are the youngest team again.- The Packers have the youngest roster in the NFL with an average age of 25.11 years old. And it’s not close. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are second with an average age of 25.59. That’s a difference of 0.48.
- Broken down by offensive and defensive starters, Green Bay has the youngest offense at 24.82 and the Buccaneers are a distant second at 25.23. By comparison, Green Bay’s defense is from the Jurassic era. With 31-year-old Preston Smith part of the No. 1 unit, the Packers are seventh with an average age of 26.17.
The San Francisco 49ers, who eliminated the Packers from the playoffs last year and reached the Super Bowl, have the eighth-oldest starting lineup at 27.13 years old. The Packers opted to go young again. In free agency, general manager Brian Gutekunst signed running back Josh Jacobs and safety Xavier McKinney, both of whom are only 26. They released the oldest player on last year’s roster, David Bakhtiari.
“I couldn’t think of a better person than Kenny . We’ve had a number of them around here. Those are choices that guys make along the way. I do have to give a lot of credit to Matt and his staff and how they approach that with our young players. It really served us well last year. Again, it remains to be seen but I do have a lot of confidence that these guys will handle things the right way.”
