Baker Mayfield will be the elder statesman when his Cleveland Browns take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC’s divisional round this Sunday. Mayfield and Mahomes are both just 25 years old, but Mayfield’s birthday is a few months before Mahomes’.
In fact, Mayfield is the oldest of the four starting quarterbacks still playing in the AFC postseason. He’s nearly two years older than Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, the youngest signal-caller left in either conference.
The birthdates of the four remaining QBs in the AFC postseason:
- Mayfield: April 14, 1995
- Mahomes: September 17, 1995
- Josh Allen: May 21, 1996
- Lamar Jackson: January 7, 1997
Mahomes was selected in the 2017 NFL draft, while the others were in the 2018 draft.
In the NFC, Tom Brady is 43, Drew Brees is 41, Aaron Rodgers is 37 and Jared Goff of the Rams is the baby of the group at 26.
