Average Length Of Nfl Career

The REAL average length for an NFL player is about two years. There are so many players that get in one game and get cut the next day and quit, that those people level out the guys who can go 10 years in the league
Morten Anderson is just a 46 year old beast

depends on what position you play. some positions are more tough on the players bodies than others. most QB's go maybe 10-12 years. runningbacks maybe 8 years....usually defensive guys like linebackers last a lot longer.
so the answer is...
you play until your body gives up
