I agree. I would just mention that an older nfl rookie likely stayed in college for a reason, likely not a great NFL prospect. So I doubt they are being shaded for their age, it’s more likely that is just their talent level.

Taysom Hill comes to mind as an older prospect (27 year old rookie) who carved out a role. He went undrafted.
