Well, we all knew we were close, but now it's official. I thought the Texans or Titans were younger than us, but nooooo.. The Packers officially have the youngest team in the National Football League.

The average age of the 53 players on Green Bay's roster is 25.57 years. Tennessee was second at 25.77.

In 2005, the youngest team was Tennessee (24.98), which finished 4-12. In 2004, the youngest was Chicago (25.26), which went 5-11.

In 2003, the youngest teams were Arizona and Indianapolis at 25.6. The Colts were 12-4 and the Cardinals were 4-12. In 2002, the youngest teams were Baltimore and Arizona. The Ravens were 7-9 and the Cardinals were 5-11.

The NFL personnel department, which analyzed each team's 53-man rosters for its first game, also said the Packers led the league with 19 rookies and first-year players. Next was Atlanta with 14.
