The Los Angeles Rams focused on adding veterans to the roster this offseason by bringing in players such as Eric Weddle, Clay Matthews and Blake Bortles. They complemented those veteran additions with an infusion of young talent, led by seven draft picks who made the 53-man roster and another three undrafted rookies.

The result: The NFL’s 10th-youngest roster in 2019.

Each year, Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice calculates the average age of every team’s roster and ranks them from youngest to oldest. Last year, the Rams had the fourth-youngest, and in the three years prior, they were either the youngest or second.

The difference from last season to this year isn’t huge, though. In 2018, the average age for the Rams was 25.5. This season, it’s 25.6.

Youth doesn’t always translate to success, of course. The Patriots had the third-oldest team in the league last season and they won the Super Bowl. This year, they have the oldest (27.0), partly because they have a 42-year-old quarterback. The Eagles have the second-oldest team in football and are still expected to be a Super Bowl contender.

The oldest player on the Rams’ roster is Andrew Whitworth (37), followed by Eric Weddle (34), Aqib Talib (33) and Clay Matthews (33). Greg Zuerlein (31) and Jake McQuaide (31) are the only other players on the roster who are over 30 years old.

David Long Jr. (21) and Taylor Rapp (21) are the youngest players on the team. David Edwards, Bobby Evans, Darrell Henderson and Natrez Patrick are all 22 years old.

Les Snead loves the mix of youth and experience on the Rams’ roster this season, and understandably so. It’s important to have veteran leaders, but also young players who are either in their primer or entering that part of their career.

“What I like about this roster is a nice mix of veteran players that may be on their third, fourth contracts, but have a lot of wisdom, experience and want to be a part of something special,” he said. “You got a lot of guys in their prime and a lot of guys that are young, that are going to help us in areas and you never know when.”
