This interesting stat about Patriots' 53-man roster might surprise you

The New England Patriots' 53-man roster might change a bit before the team's Week 1 game against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 11, but barring any drastic moves, it's going to enter the season as one of the NFL's oldest.

According to Spotrac, the Patriots have the second-oldest roster in the league. The average age is 27.15 years old. The oldest roster belongs to, unsurprisingly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A former Patriots quarterback named Tom Brady who recently turned 45 years old has a lot to do with that.
