Alright, let’s gab about these football fellas, the tight ends, you know, the big guys who catch the ball sometimes. We’re gonna figure out who’s the oldest grandpa among ’em in the whole NFL.
Now, I heard tell there’s this fella, Marcedes Lewis. Folks say he’s been playin’ longer than most chickens live! They say he’s with the Bears now. Can you believe it? That man’s, like, forty years old! Born way back in 1984. He’s been playin’ football for nineteen seasons, that’s what I hear. Nineteen! That’s a whole lotta football, I tell ya.

Forty years old! My goodness, that’s older than my prize-winning rooster! I mean, when you’re forty, you should be sittin’ on the porch, sippin’ sweet tea, not gettin’ knocked around by them young’uns. But this Marcedes fella, he’s still out there, catchin’ balls and whatnot. He’s a tough one, that’s for sure.
I also heard tell of another fella, Jason Witten. He played for the Cowboys, y’know, them fellas with the star on their helmets. They said he came outta retirement to be one of the oldest tight ends too. Thirty-eight years old, they said. Seems like these old fellas just can’t get enough of that football. They keep going and going.
- So, we got Marcedes Lewis, forty years young.
- Then there’s this Jason Witten fella, thirty-eight.
It’s kinda hard to keep track of all these young men, always runnin’ around. But it sounds like Marcedes is the oldest of the bunch right now. Forty years old! That’s just somethin’ else. Makes me tired just thinkin’ about it. I reckon he’s gotta be the oldest tight end in the whole dang league. He’s a real record-breaker, they tell me, the oldest tight end to ever catch a touchdown. Big Dog, they call him.
I ain’t never seen nothin’ like it. Back in my day, boys that age were farmin’ the land, not runnin’ around in tight pants and helmets. But times change, I guess. And these fellas, they sure do love their football. Good for them, I say. Keeps ’em outta trouble, maybe. Unless they get tackled too hard, then they get into trouble with their bones, I reckon.
Now, I saw somethin’ about other old fellas in the football. There’s this Calais Campbell fella, he’s a defensive tackle, thirty-eight years old too. And Brandon Graham, a defensive end, thirty-six years old. Seems like them big boys play a long time. Guess they’re tougher than they look, all that padding and all. And there’s a Matt Prater, kicks the ball they say, he’s thirty-nine.
But we’re talkin’ about tight ends, and it sounds like Marcedes Lewis is the king of the old guys there. Forty years old. Nineteen seasons. That’s a lot of games, a lot of hits, a lot of Gatorade, I bet. He must be made of somethin’ strong, that fella.

So, if you ask me, and nobody did, but I’m tellin’ ya anyway, the oldest tight end in the NFL is Marcedes Lewis. That’s the name you gotta remember. He’s the old fella still catchin’ that football, bless his heart. He’s probably got grandkids runnin’ around, and he’s still out there playin’ with them youngsters. That’s somethin’ special, I tell ya. Makes you wonder what keeps him goin’. Maybe he just really likes that Gatorade.
Anyways, that’s the story as I hear it. Marcedes Lewis, the forty-year-old tight end. He’s the oldest one, plain and simple. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed my chickens. They’re probably wonderin’ where I’ve been, gossiping about football players all day.
Key takeaways:
- Marcedes Lewis is the oldest tight end in the NFL at 40 years old.
- He has played for 19 seasons.
- Jason Witten is another older tight end, at 38 years old.
So there ya have it. Marcedes Lewis, the old man of the tight ends. He’s a tough one, that’s for sure.
