That tweet prompted this response from ILB Emmanuel Acho.
“@Eagles: 60 of the 67 players on the #Eagles roster right now are under the age of 30 (89.6%)" Tell @DRyans59 quit killing our average!

Some will point out that guys like Peters, Mathis, Herremans, Cole and Ryans are older players. That’s certainly true, but there is a lot of young talent on the roster. It isn’t like the Eagles have 5 older stars and 40 young scrubs.
Only DeMeco doesn’t turn 30 until July of this year. He’s still 29.
