Winnipeg Blue Bombers add two to roster - April 4, 2025

There's a lot of theory and some data out there that NFL running backs (as a whole) tend to begin decline at age 27. Oliveria is 28 in August.

I'm not sure the NFL rules apply up here.

Brady has remained remarkably healthy since his rookie season when he broke his leg, but he's not indestructible

Have you noticed the beef Brady adds every season now?  Recall what he looked like that game where he broke his leg.  He was like a scrawny little kid compared to what he is now.

And he doesn't put on the beef in the useless areas like Oullette does: no outrageous pipes or chest that doesn't do much for a RB.  Brady's trainer should get top marks for prioritizing even-all-over beef and lower body/core strength.

Not saying he can't get injured, but he sure knows how to do all the right things.  I think he got all the "know when to tighten, know when to loosen" tricks from AH when their times here overlapped.

We have been lucky injury wise. I am pleases Zac has stayed healthy.

There's many examples of NFL running backs who are very productive well into their 30s too -- and I absolutely wasn't suggesting it was a 'rule' because I don't think it is one.
