I swear Matthew Stafford has been in his twenty’s my entire life. Most players that are going into their eighth season in the league are either at or past 30. Even some of the guys that have been in league for three years are around Stafford’s age.

There really isn’t much else I can say on this slide other than it’ clear in my opinion that Stafford may be just entering his prime in a still pretty young life.
