This list would be a lot more relavent if they listed the average age of the starters, not the whole team.

You could have old starters and a bunch of young crap backing them up. That doesn't mean you're a young team.

The fact that the difference between #1 and #32 is less than 2 years really makes the list meaningless. I agree that the age of the starters is more relevant than this list.

2 years is a lot of difference. Fans always overrate the length of time players are effective for. For instance, almost every RB starts declining by the end of their age 26 season.

Impressive that the Giants come in 12th youngest, considering their punter is 54!
