39: Years Old

Manning’s age (at the time of writing) may not seem like a noteworthy figure on the surface. As Mark Twain once said, “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” But at 39, the older Manning brother is set to become the oldest quarterback in league history to start a Super Bowl.

Overall, age 39 wasn’t a great year for the future Hall of Famer, provided he threw nearly twice as many interceptions (17) as touchdowns (nine) during the regular season. Still, he went 7-2 as the starter during the season and helped guide his team to yet another Super Bowl.
