Tom Brady on the cusp of an improbable r

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!According to my birthday tracker, the quarterback will be turning 45 YEARS OLD exactly three weeks from tomorrow (Aug. 3). If you're wondering why I'm bringing up Brady's age today, there's actually a legitimate reason for it: It's because we're going to be focusing a lot on how old players are in today's newsletter.Not only will we be ranking the top 30 players over the age of 30, but we'll also be putting together an All-Star team that consists only of players under the age of 25. If you're an player between 26 and 29, sorry, we don't care about you today. With that in mind, let's get to the rundown.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . 1. Today's show: The five NFL teams that improved the most this offseasonAfter taking a Philadelphia 76Ers Hats two-week vacation to Italy, Ryan Wilson is finally back on the podcast. Although I think we can call agree that vacationing in Italy is way more fun than hanging out with Will Brinson for an hour, Wilson at least pretended to enjoy himself during today's episode of the podcast. During the show, Wilson and Brinson covered several topics, which included giving their thoughts on the new name for Heinz Field, which is now known as Acrisure Stadium. The two guys also revealed who they thought ended the offseason Allen Iverson Jersey as the five most improved teams in NFL.Here's a look at their list:Both guys love what the Colts did this offseason, and the move they loved the most was the addition of . That's the big reason why Wilson has the Colts as one of his most improved teams."It makes too much sense," Wilson said of including them on his most improved list. "You have Matt Ryan, who's an obvious upgrade over . I think this team is going to be better. I think they're the best team in the AFC South ." As for Brinson, he thinks Matt Ryan might end up surprising some people this season."Matt Ryan is going to be behind a really good offensive line," Brinson said. "He's going to return to -- I don't want to say elite form -- but he's going to return to top-10 form. People are going to stop crapping on Matt Ryan after the upcoming season ."Personally, I couldn't agree more. Over the weekend, I did a video explaining why I think the Colts are one of the most improved teams heading into 2022 and . As for today's show, if you want to listen to the rest of the episode, you can do that . You . 2. Ranking the top 30 NFL players over the age of 30Although football is usually viewed as a sport that younger players thrive at, there are plenty of older guys in the league who are wildly succe sful, so we decided to list them all out today. The guy who handles the Wednesday newsletter around here, Cody Benjamin, decided to rank the top 30 NFL players over the age of 30.Here's a look at the top 10 players on the list, and in news that won't surprise you, Tom Brady is on top. The age listed next to their name is how old they'll be when the season starts. (For instance, Brady is 44 right now, but he'll be 45 by the time Week 1 rolls around.) 1. Tom Brady, Buccaneers (45)2. , (38)3. , (31)4. , Broncos (33)5. , (34)6. , (32)7. Cam Norvel Pelle Jersey Heyward, Steelers (33)8. , Rams (34)9. , (31)10. , Chargers (31)Brady has now been on this list for 14 straight years. To put Brady's absurd situation into prospective: He turned 30 the same year got drafted (2007). Johnson played nine years, retired and is now in the Hall of Fame after going through the five-year waiting period ... and Brady is still playing.When Brady turned 30, only one player on the list above was in the NFL already (Rodgers), and he had never even started a game. Anyway, if you want to see the full list of 30 players, be . 3. Tom Brady could break an NFL record that once seemed impo sible for him to breakSince we were just talking about Tom Brady, I figured we might as well just continue talking about Tom Brady and that's what we're going to do now. The Buccaneers quarterback has broken a lot of records in his NFL career and . If he breaks this one, it would be especially impre sive, because it's a record that didn't even seem po sible for him to break just two years ago.So what's the record?By the end of the 2022 season, Brady could set the record for most playoff wins by a starting quarterback against NFC teams. Brady has only been playing in the NFC for two full seasons, and somehow, he's on the cusp of breaking the record.Here's a look at the quarterbacks who have the most playoffs wins against NFC teams: Brett Favre:12Joe Montana:10Aaron Rodgers:10Tom Brady:10Of Brady's 10 wins, six of those came in the while he was playing for the . Since signing with the Buccaneers in 2020, he's added four more postseason wins Justin Anderson Jersey against NFC teams. Now that he has 10, Favre's record is in reach. If the Buccaneers once again reach the Super Bowl in 2022 with a run that starts in the wild-card round, then Brady would tack on three more wins against NFC teams. That would give him 13 for his career, which would break Favre's record.The man spent TWENTY YEARS in the AFC and he might break the record for most playoff wins against NFC teams. That's bonkers. The most interesting twist here is that if the Packers play the Buccaneers in the NFC title game this year, we could get a situation where the winning quarterback becomes the record-holder. (This could only happen if the Packers and Buccaneers both start their playoff runs in the wild Isaiah Joe Jersey -card round.)Overall, Brady has 35 playoffs wins in his career. Not only is that the NFL record, but it's also more than double the next quarterback on the list. (Joe Montana has 16 total wins when you count his victories over both AFC and NFC teams.) 4. Ranking the best offensive players under the age of 25After going through all the old guys in the NFL with the 30-and-over list above, it's now time to take a look at the up-and-coming stars in the league. However, instead of ranking the top players under the age of 25, we basically decided to create an all-star team, and today, we're going to unveil the offense for that team.CBSSports.com's Jordan Dajani was in charge of putting this team together, and he only had two rules for this list: Rookies don't qualify and a player can't turn 25 before the start of the 2022 season. (Any player who is 24 or younger on Sept. 8 qualifies, so this eliminates a player like , who turns 25 on August 7.)Top offensive players under the age of 25QB: , ChargersRB: , ColtsWR: , WR: , WR: , CowboysTE: , LT: , ChargersLG: , C: , ChiefsRG: , SteelersRT: , Buccaneers The Charg
