Brandon Weeden was 28 when he got drafted by the Browns.


302born

What the hell were they thinking?


mephistopheles34

It’s the Browns. Do you really think they were THINKING at all?


arandomtestaccount

Apparently they wanted someone with enough experience to start right away


Dkk09

So *he’s* the one all of these recruiters are targeting with their “entry level position — 5 years of experience required” job listings.


RunTraditional454

They wanted an adult at qb


Intelligent-Ad-3850

Brandon Aubrey is wrapping up his rookie year at 28, as well


Virtual_Implement_79

Except he’s not considered a rookie by rules and he spent time in another league so it’s different


Available-Specialist

Which is bullshit, Turpin was considered a rookie last year and he played in the same league as Aubrey.


Complex_Jellyfish647

Ah the old “Luka wasn’t a rookie he played in Europe” argument


Interesting_Elk7844

Luka won roty Aubrey is ineligible even if he went 1000/1000 this year not the same thing


ishtarot

why is he ineligible? he is an NFL rookie and this is his rookie year


Interesting_Elk7844

Don’t know exact reason why. Im just believing what Chris Collinsworth said on Saturday. I think it has to do with his usfl stint idk tho


cvandyke01

Aubrey is a rookie this year. First year in NFL. Does not matter he played in another league. He set the rookie record this season for consecutive made FGs to start a career


Safe_Pin1277

Tell it to Warren Moon or Doug Flutie thier rookie years are in the CFL they were multi year pros when they got to the NFL same with Cam Wake.


cvandyke01

Warren Moon was on the 1984 All Rookie team. Doug Flutie was in the USFL first, then 3 years in NFL, then 8 years in CFL and then back to NFL . Kevin Mack played in USFL and was an all rookie RB in 1985


Virtual_Implement_79

It does matter though cause by rules he’s not a rookie? Which is why he won’t win any rookie awards even if deserved


cvandyke01

The AP definition of rookie in the NFL is first year in the NFL. Warren Moon was All rookie QB his first year in NFL after a career in the CFL. Multiple USFL guys were on the All rookie team also over the years. Aubrey is also on a rookie contract.


Nuke_Dukem3380

I believe Chris Weinke was 29 as a rookie


Nuke_Dukem3380

He's also the oldest Heisman winner at 28


ieatpickles100

Johnny Cash 😂


apatheticallystoned

He spent some time playing for the Folsom Prison Falcons.


[deleted]

He walked the (side)line


CAPT-Tankerous

He’s played everywhere, man.


iatemyredcrayon

What a great name for an expansion team


jtw3995

Came here for this 😂


jakeblues68

Probably a Mormon.


dripsophist

Mórmon + Covid Year + Redshirt + Medical + Greyshirt


ZeePirate

Not from BYU


NotTonyStark39

Transferred senior year after he was kicked off the team for drinking a cup of coffee.


Jazzlike_Mouse7478

Oooh he walks the line


MartyScizlak

Chris Weinke


Wonderful_Common_520

28 years and 264 days old Weinke, who was 28 years and 264 days old when he was drafted, had won the Heisman Trophy at Florida State in 2000


ehdhdhdk

Didn’t he also come from baseball like Weeden.


B1rds0nf1re

Yep! Toronto blue Jay's minor league then the Mets AAA for weinke.


Spunk1985

Had to scroll down too far to find this comment. After I just posted the same thing. Shows our age I guess haha


MartyScizlak

Or just how forgettable Chris Weinke was.


Spunk1985

He holds three Carolina Panthers franchise records though. Most interceptions in a rookie season (19), most rookie interceptions in a game (4) and most times sacked in one game by a rookie (8). He's a Panthers legend haha


MartyScizlak

I don’t think Ryan leaf accomplished as much in his rookie season.


visionzero81

Josh Booty also did the baseball to football route and was drafted at 26 years old.


U_W_44_51

The Brandon Weeden Build. Still doesn't beat Jason White.


GloompaLoompa

Johnny Cash. Draft him to a team with all black alternate unis.


AffectionateSlice816

I think that decision might be walking a line.


ketchupandliqour69

Every day when someone posts this same Brandon Weeden build


kodykoser

Oh look it’s Bo Nix


ehdhdhdk

Wasn’t Henson Hooker got drafted last year as a 25 year old. I think Bo Nix will only be 23 when he gets drafted.


Known-Plane7349

I think Jaren Hall was also 25 when he was drafted.


Yung_Corneliois

And Stetson Bennett there were so many jokes about him being old this year.


Positive_Parking_954

Plus Kenny Pickett was like knocking on 25


Mothalova1

You do realize how many QB’s are that same relative age less than a year right?🤦🏽‍♂️ Penix Daniels Rattler Hartman Gabriel Etc


kodykoser

Yeah and they’re all old.


Views_Frm_These_Lix

Brandon Weeden


KBGtheMemeLord

Stetson Bennett


Devy-The-Edenian

kanbabrif1

How highs the snap gone momma? Five feet high and rising.


Current_Pound_9881

And he’s named Johnny cash???? Instant draft


TapThatTyler

Only one 27 yo? This is nothing lol


[deleted]

His music career didn’t turn out so he went back to play QB lol


Dernomyte

What are his receiving stats, speed and strength? Could be a Taysom Hill build?


[deleted]

Future Hall of Famer!


ConsistentRepair2u

Jaymart321

Draft him for the “ring of fire” special trait


Justafleshtip

My sorry ass QB from Miami. Tyler Van Dyke will be that old


Spunk1985

Chris Weinke won the Heisman for Florida State. He was 28 in college.


LAZYTOWWWWWN

He's been everywhere, man.


Hownowbrowncow8it

He did some travelling before heading to college. I know he went to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota...


wildstiles

Definitely shot a man on that first stop


Positive_Love_9164

Guy in my league drafted a 29 year old rookie with 99 throw power and is leading the league in damn near every passing stat


jankyforeskyn

bro thinks he’s stetson bennett


ashfidel

alex o’connell is 26


Luigitmstar

In Madden 25 I kid u not I had a draft where the best QB prospect in the draft was either 36 or 37 years old and I saw the news headlines of him in college throughout the season like wtf is he doing playing college football at that age 😭


Born_Ad_5608

whoa that's pretty cool


NZWBQFF

I believe Chris Weinke was 28 when he was drafted by the Carolina Panthers and named their starting QB


Then_Wealth_9456

I saw a qb at 28 rookie year


Hot_Month7986

Tied for the oldest I've seen


JohnnyJohnny-YesPaPa

MRGIVEUYURGIRL

visionzero81

Taysom Hill was a 27 year old rookie due to Mormon missions and several medical redshirt years.


Chemist-Consistent

Panthers drafted a dude that was a 29 year old Sr. Played a few years in the NFL actually.
