Who is the oldest player selected in the NFL draft? It's quarterback Chris Weinke, who was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in Round 4 in 2001. Weinke, who was 28 years and 264 days old when he was drafted, had won the Heisman Trophy at Florida State in 2000, throwing 33 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. He did not have the same success in the NFL, however, as he managed just 15 touchdown passes -- with 26 picks -- in 29 career games with the Panthers and San Francisco 49ers.
