We'll miss Reggie, but Shaun played well today. Newman is just a freak. Some guys just age well. Jerry Rice, Charles Woodson and Darrell Green come to mind. I remember when I didn't want to draft Newman in 2003 because he was a 25 year old rookie. Had no idea he'd still be able to play 14+ years.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
