Football keeps Andy Reid youthful

If you’re worried about Andy Reid riding off into the sunset after winning Super Bowl LIV, rest assured that he won’t be walking away any time soon. Not only does he have things easy coaching a talented quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, but Reid believes being around the players makes him youthful.

“I get older, but the players stay the same age,” Reid explained. “The faces change, personalities change but the age remains the same. I think that indirectly keeps me young. Then I’m able to bring that home. I try to leave the business at the office, and then when I’m home, I bring the other positive things that I get from these great young men that I get a chance to work with.”

Maybe coach has watched a few too many Matthew McConaughey movies lately, but if he truly believes being around the players he coaches keeps him young, he’ll be coaching until the wheels fall off.
