They are more likely to get injuries or have problems with old injuries. That being said here is a stat about our new O-linemen that a lot of people over look.
Out
Reiff.......34
Spain......31
Hopkins..30
AVG.......31.7
In
Collins....30
Karras.....29
Cappa.....27
AVG.......28.7
A full 3 year difference in average age. That is a lot less milage. More likely to stay healthy.
This is good because the odds of staying healthy are definitely better for younger guys.
For example, 50 year old me sometimes injures himself getting out of bed while 25 year old me could play basketball all day, get little to no sleep that night and then feel fine the next morning.
So yes getting younger on the O line is a good thing.
