Football is a tough game of big, ego-driven men clashing on the field and off, so it makes sense that a number of players would find themselves among fans and peers most hated people in the NFL. When you&#39;re trying to win games, it doesn&#39;t necessarily help to be liked, and many of these players have found success despite being the dirtiest and meanest players in the NFL.

While some players receive hate from fans for their poor play on the field, like Blake Bortles or Kirk Cousins, others have serious off-the-field issues that have made them the kind of players fans love to hate, like Antonio Brown and Tyreek Hill. Then, there are the dirty players like Richie Incognito and Ndamukong Suh, guys you just don&#39;t want to play against.

Football is a rough, physical game that does not lend itself to players sticking around in the league for very long, but the oldest players in the NFL right now are proof that with good conditioning, will, and a little bit of luck, athletes can stay on the field long past the age when most have retired.

It won&#39;t surprise you to learn that most of the oldest active NFL players are kickers and quarterbacks, positions where the rules help protect them from some of the more viscious aspects of the game. At 46&nbsp;years old, kicker Adam Vinatieri is by far the oldest player in the NFL, five years older than the next oldest player, the indomitable Tom Brady, who has said he wants to play until he is 45. Also on the list of oldest football players are QBs Drew Brees and Eli Manning and punters Andy Lee and Dustin Colquitt.

But it&#39;s not all kickers and quarterbacks. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/every-dallas-cowboys-tight-end/ranker-nfl?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Cowboys tight end</a> Jason Witten came out of retirement this year to join the ranks of players older than 35 who are still playing in 2019. Among the other current NFL veterans who have stuck around, there are lineman like Richie Incognito and Jason Peters, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, and even running backs like Darren Sproles and Frank Gore.

So if you&#39;re wondering who&#39;s still getting out on the field against the young guys, check out this list of NFL players over 35. While some of these players are sure to retire in the coming years, as medicine and condition improve, more names are likely to join this group in the future, as well.

List of &quot;Draft Day&quot; movie quotes. &quot;Draft Day&quot; takes sports fans through the NFL Draft process from the eyes of the Cleveland Browns in this comedy-drama feature film. Ivan Reitman directed the football film using a screenplay by Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman. &quot;Draft Day&quot; opened in theaters on April 11, 2014, just days before the 2014 NFL Draft.In &quot;Draft Day,&quot; Sonny Weaver, Jr. (Kevin Costner) is the General Manager of the Cleveland Browns, a team who, like in real life, has been on the losing side of the National Football League for quite some time. With the NFL Draft soon approaching, Sonny has been tasked by team owner Harvey Molina (Frank Langella) with making a big splash this year or he is fired. Sonny takes that task and runs with it, stopping at all costs to make big moves including acquiring the first overall draft pick.En route to that top draft pick, Sonny butts heads with more than a few people, including Browns Head Coach Vince Penn (Denis Leary), who does not quite agree with Sonny's choices. While he does have the support of Ali (Jennifer Garner), Sonny turns heads, and not in a good way, with his risky decisions to create his dream roster. It's a tall task, but Sonny stops at nothing to make this draft day one that could turn the entire Cleveland Browns franchise around once and for all.&quot;Draft Day&quot; will surely draw football fans but it has to compete with other films in theaters such as <a href="/list/under-the-skin-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Under the Skin,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/dom-hemingway-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Dom Hemingway,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/captain-america-the-winter-soldier-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Captain America: The Winter Soldier,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/sabotage-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Sabotage,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/noah-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Noah,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/blood-ties-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Blood Ties,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/veronica-mars-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">the &quot;Veronica Mars&quot; movie,</a> <a href="/list/need-for-speed-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Need for Speed,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/mr-peabody-and-sherman-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Mr. Peabody and Sherman,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/300-rise-of-an-empire-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;300: Rise of an Empire,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/the-grand-budapest-hotel-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;The Grand Budapest Hotel,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/cheap-thrills-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Cheap Thrills,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/monuments-men-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Monuments Men,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/winter-and-_39_s-tale-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Winter's Tale,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/robocop-2014-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;RoboCop (2014),</a> <a href="/list/about-last-night-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;About Last Night,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/vampire-academy-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Vampire Academy,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/the-lego-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;The Lego Movie,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/gimme-shelter-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Gimme Shelter,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/i-frankenstein-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;I, Frankenstein,&quot;</a> <a href="/list/ride-along-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Ride Along,&quot;</a> and <a href="/list/jack-ryan-shadow-recruit-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&quot;Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.&quot;</a>

What children of famous professional athletes went on to play sports as well?&nbsp;The Mannings usually top the list of father-son athlete combinations. As do&nbsp;Bobby and Barry Bonds,&nbsp;Bobby and Brett Hull, and one day soon LeBron James and Bronny Jr.&nbsp; But&nbsp;all these second-generation sports stars played the same sport as their old man. This list is different. These are all the&nbsp;pro athletes&nbsp;who made it as a professional in a different sport than their parents. These 2nd generation pros took a chance playing a sport other than what their parents excelled at.

Believe it or not, the most famous current child of a professional athlete is Kansas City Chiefs&#39; quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whose dad was a relief pitcher in the major leagues for almost a decade. Perhaps that&#39;s where Mahomes got his rocket arm. Then, there&#39;s other children of baseball major leaguers, such as NFL QB Jared Goff and WNBA guard Candice Wiggins. Famously,&nbsp;Joakim Noah was&nbsp;a great NBA center, but a terrible tennis player, unlike his father -&nbsp;Yannick Noah. There&#39;s Mike Conley Jr., whose pops was an American track star. Ironically, both of former NBA power forward Popeye Jones&#39; sons, Seth and Caleb Jones,&nbsp;went on to play hockey in the NHL

Quarterbacks

One of the hottest debates in all of sports is over who is the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-quarterbacks-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best quarterback</a> in the NFL right now. It&#39;s an argument that will rage on as long as there are NFL teams. Over the last decade, the question of the best current quarterback in pro football came down to two players: Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Both of them have dominated the league, but there&#39;s a new breed of quarterbacks who can stake their claim to being the best in the league.

Would you argue with Aaron Rodgers as the best quarterback right now? The Green Bay quarterback is a guy who was won a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/super-bowl?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">Super Bowl</a> and&nbsp; an MVP, after all. How about Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger, both whom have won two Super Bowls. You can even throw Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan into the mix.

This is your chance to weigh in on who is the best quarterback in the NFL right now. The key here is right now. We aren&#39;t interested in the greatest quarterback in NFL history, only the best in the current season. This is the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-ultimate-dream-garage?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Ultimate List</a> of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League right now, so pick who you think is the most worthy contender for that title and vote him up.

Who is the best tight end in the NFL right now? Tight ends have become an integral piece to a football team&#39;s offense. In the past, the best tight ends in the National Football League have mostly served as extra offensive lineman to help with run blocking and an occasional pair of hands to catch a defense off-guard. But the game has changed significantly recent years. Big, athletic, pass catching tight ends have allowed offenses to stretch the field and are an added threat in today&#39;s predominantly pass-first NFL. The influx of these players has changed the way defenses prepare for an opposing team and now have to take account players they wouldn&#39;t have had to worry about in the past.

For many years, Rob Gronkowski has been&nbsp;considered the preeminent tight end for his rare combination of pass catching ability&nbsp;and raw power. He is widely looked at as one the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-25-greatest-tight-ends-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">greatest tight ends</a> to play the game.&nbsp;Players like Kansas City&#39;s Travis Kelce, San Francisco&#39;s George Kittle and New York&#39;s&nbsp;Evan Engram&nbsp;are three examples of bigger, faster tight end who have taken the game by storm.

Vote for the tight end you think is the best in the NFL right now. The definition for who you consider to be the top tight end is open-ended. It can be one of the pass catchers from above or a blocking tight end. No matter what definition you choose, only you can help decide who is the best tight end in football right now.

His inspirational words are still widely used today as is his name which graces the title of the Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the annual champion of the National Football League.

But there are many more legendary NFL coaches of past and present that also deserve a place on this list for their brilliance, inspiration and undeniable success on the field. Coaches like Tom Landry, Don Shula, George Halas, Paul Brown and Chuck Noll were the leaders in the league a few decades ago while the <a href="/list/best-current-nfl-coaches/ranker-nfl" target="_blank">best current NFL coaches</a> like Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin and Sean Payton&nbsp;continue to improve upon their already legendary status in NFL history.

What that means is up for debate, but what isn&#39;t though, is the fact that a number of outstanding, nevertheless Hall of Fame caliber/Hall of Fame quarterbacks haven&#39;t won a Super Bowl. Despite their standing as some of the game&#39;s greatest signal callers, for one reason or another, they haven&#39;t taken a Lombardi trophy back to their city.

Some of football&#39;s greatest quarterbacks didn&#39;t have the stars align when they made the big game. Just ask Dan Marino and Jim Kelly.

Marino only made the Super Bowl once, and had the misfortune of playing one of the greatest teams of all time in the San Francisco 49ers. Besides that, his teams weren&#39;t good enough to advance to the Super Bowl. As for Kelly, his Buffalo Bills went to four Super Bowls, but had to play the NFC East when it had four of the best teams in football.
