The all-time leading scorer in NFL history is an active player for the Atlanta Falcons who is also the oldest active player in the NFL. 47 year old Danish-born Morten Andersen is old enough to be a grandfather and more than twice as old as many of his teammates. But he's still a remarkable kicker (he made 90% of his field goal attempts this past season) and has now played more games - by far - than any player in NFL history. The fact that he's been kicking in the NFL for more than a quarter century and is still on top of the game certainly gives some inspiration to those of us in our 40s. As long as there are NFL players still older than us, we're not really that old, are we?
