The NFL's 40 years and older club is one of the rarest clubs to make it into, with less than 70 members ever. In this video, I go over the oldest NFL player ever, along with the oldest at other positions on the field.

So I just wanted to add some notes to this video.
1) when I go over the oldest at “the other positions”, I go over the oldest players in the MODERN ERA. There were guys who were technically older but they played in the 1920’s.
You can look at the list for yourself here www.profootballhof.com/football-history/40-and-over-club/
2) still working the kinks out on the face cam video style. Let me know what you think or if you have any constructive criticism of this video down below. Thanks!
KTO Ok
Keep the good vids up 👍
you should make a video on Calvin Johnson
Love the video you should make one about Bobby Singh the only player to ever win the xfl, cfl, and nfl championship.
Thank you for pointing out how the Raiders cut Blanda. It was heartbreaking. I believe somewhere there’s a story where he came to camp & there was another lock on Blanda’s locker. Anyone else heard that?
George Blanda played in the same decade as WWII and the same decade as when Apple was founded by Steve Jobs. That’s insane.
Also played during the cold war
@PoPuPw1tTdAcUp ocool
I remember him. He was known as the Old Man.
I had his poster on my wall as a kid in the 70's. Not Stabler. Not Biletnikoff. Blanda.
@@bigboxes that's sick
Last time i was this early Trent Richardson was worth a first round pick
Wow that’s insane
Lol
Cleveland ruined him
Last time I was this early these jokes were actually funny
Did you see the shit he did at Alabama? But yeah Only the browns would have taken him that high
George Blanda's rookie year was when my Grandpa was a 1 year old. George Blanda's final year was when my dad (my aforementioned grandpa's son) was 5 years old. Pretty crazy how long Blanda played.
Owen Wells oh I see
Raiders are my team i watched Blanda play
8balln8 killingu65 I see that
@Allan Charles did you ever watch the roughest game of all time Raiders was one team its so long ago i cant remember who the other team was Raiders had 3 QB's that played and Blanda i think was the 3rd and if i remember right one of them had to end up going back out and refused lol try to search for it on utube
RAIDERS :)
Can you guys imagine if they had children at a young age. Then there would be a possibility of fathers playing against their sons. That would be must watch tv
Off sport. Ken Griffey Jr. Played with his Dad. & hit back to back home runs.
@@charlesriston8972 High chance Lebron can play with or against his son
I mean Frank Gore's son just made it into college this year at Southern Mississippi if Frank Gore can last like 3 or 4 more years it could happen.
I thought that Happened to the receiver Steve Smith Sr??
I mean LeBron is gonna do that probably, it would be interesting to see in the NFL too
My favorite George Blanda reference was on the 70s show “Happy Days” which was set in the 1950s. On one show from 1976 Ralph referred to Blanda as being “washed up” & Richie (Ron Howard) said “he has 2 or 3 years left.” The game was taking place in 1956!
Glad someone else remembers that reference... one of the smartest jokes (if not the smartest) ever made on that show
I remember that, and Happy Days got a lot of laughs on that one, real, not a fake laugh track that was used a lot on other shows back then.
Man i was confused as hell at first cause i thought you were talking about the show "That 70s Show" i didn't know you were talking about a show that was playing during the 70s 😂😂😂😂
😀Yes here’s the IMDB description:
At the beginning of the show, Mr. Cunningham, Richie, Ralph, Potsie and Fonzie are watching an NFL game between the (Chicago) Bears and the (Chicago) Cardinals. They debate about putting in the Bears quarterback, George Blanda, and Richie says he thinks George Blanda has "a couple good years" left in him to play football. The joke in this situation is that this particular game was played in the 1956 season, with Blanda having already played in 8 NFL seasons, yet George Blanda was still playing in the NFL in 1975, two decades after the setting for this episode. George Blanda played for the Oakland Raiders during the 1975 season and the Raiders season/Blanda's career ended with a loss in the NFL playoffs two weeks before this episode aired on television.
He has 2 or 3 or 20 years left in him
Just imagine throwing a td and then kicking the extra point IN THE NFL.
Rugby
People who say Blanda doesn’t belong in the HoF by just judging his stats need to actually watch him play and take into account the time period in which he started playing. Dude was a beast. Sucks he never won a SB.
Yes,where is Doug Flutie too?
And a Drop kick at that too
Tee kicks didnt always happen in the old days
Then imagine kicking a td and throwing an extra point . ;0)
Could you do a in depth analysis of why fullbacks fell off
Short answer, 4 wide receiver packages and soon leaguewide implementation of the air raid offense
Speed kills my dude. Look at the Chiefs offense and their WR weapons. They remade the offensive playbook for the NFL in 2020. Also can't forget Kelce and now their new RB from LSU.
@@jiffycrimso5691 I just think I’d be a cool video idea
@@andrewwicke8031 it would be cool plus they could go over the last stragglers going from like alstott to peyton hillis and now the only straggler is like kyle juszczyk
@@hello4169 yeah good points kyle juszcyk is still a pretty dynamic too
"George Blanda had just been elected king of the world!"
"And Superman still lives in Oakland."
Bill King had some great calls but he reserved his best for Blanda.
Rip Bill...
Bill king is the GOAT. Grew up listening him call A's, Raiders, and Warrior games. 3 different sports!
In the offseason he lived in LaGrange Park, Illinois, my hometown.
What about Jim Otto?
Holy Toledo!
Even more impressive, George Blanda was playing back in 70s when the game was way rougher than today.
Not really he was mostly a kicker.
@@marvinflatt6947 Tell that to any Cowboys fan, in 1974 the 48 year old George Blanda threw a 3rd quarter TD pass to Cliff Branch to put the Raiders up by 15 points to ice a game the Raiders did not NEED to win as they had already clinched the AFC Western division, YOU obviously NEVER saw him play!
@@davidcobb2693 Actually did see him play alot, didn't say he was a shitty Qb, said he made it that long because he was mainly a kicker.
Always liked him actually !
But remember his overall stats are not the great
under 45% completion rate,
236 td's to 277 int's.
@@marvinflatt6947 He played in different eras, when he was LEADING the 1961 Houston Oilers to an AFL Championship he threw 36 TD's against 22 INT's, his 2 starting WR's averaged 21.3 and 23.5 yards per catch. But remember, the fledgling AFL passed the ball MUCH MORE often than the " 3 yards and a cloud of dust " NFL. Every AFL team attempted 420 or more passes in 1961 and let's also remember the '61 Oilers scored 513 points, IN a 14 game season, 37.5 ppg. His overall completion percentage was NOT under 45%, it was 47.7% He was a winner, 3X AFL Champion and 53-50-1 as a starting QB for his career, he threw a 95 yard TD pass at age 38 and a 94 yarder at age 41.
@@davidcobb2693 Well while playing in the AFL in 61-65 the talent level wasn't top notch , but better than college I guess.
53-50-1 for a 24 yr career is mediocre at best.
But since he didn't start all those yrs, I wouldn't make that a big issue.
So you think he was as good as Aikman, Stabach, Meridith?
No shit he played in a different era, doesn't mean he was great in that era.53-50-1 proves that.
Johnny U.played in that era and do you think George was as good as him?
Like I said George was "good" not great tho.
At 5:47 that announcer states a pretty specific odd at 76 million to a 1/2 😂
Crazy way to say 152 million to 1.
It’s crazy that If Vinatieri plays this year, he will have played in 4 different decades. 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s
Vince Carter just did it in the NBA
XMS 43 yeah happy retirement to him
He can be played as/against in video games (as an active member of a roster and not a "legend" or DLC), ranging from SEGA Genesis to PlayStation 4. That's wild.
A sa Raiders fan, it's bonechillingly good to hear those Bill King calls of Blanda's moments.
It's like listening to Jim Ross call a match with Stone Cold or Mankind.
Leave it to the Browns to lose to basically one guy who's the oldest dude on the team and playing multiple positions.
The Browns were still a pretty good team in 1970, their first year in the AFC.
To be fair it wasn't just the Browns...
😂😂😂
Tom Brady - *"Ima play till I'm 45"*
George Blanda - *"Hold my death certificate"*
Sadly, teams are not as nice nowadays, Blanda would have been chopped half a decade to a full decade prior if he played now.
this had me dying lmao
Blanda is so impressive to me because he played so long in an era where QBs werent protected
Was mostly a kicker, but was just a backup Qb.
@Allan Charles OK, in his 26 yr career he was a starter at Qb. for 5 yrs in the AFL .
But a kicker for all 26 yrs.kinda provided grounds for my comment.
As for winning the AFL titles, would be like winning the XFL title in today's game.
Don't get me wrong, think what George did was great .
Also threw for 42 int's in one yr. at Houston.
Those 3,000 yrds and 36 td's came from his 1st yr in AFL ,after 10 yrs in the NFL.
@Allan Charles No disrespect intended, they were just beginning the AFL and didn't get National attention until they Drafted Joe Willie Namath and signed him away from the NFL.
Halas signed him for $ 600.00 dollars, but did pay him more when he actually made the team.
Agree with the Starts until he got injured but it was less than 10 games tho.
As far as winning the the first 2 AFL titles, that league was far less talented , but it only took them 6-7 yrs to get legitimate talent to compete with the NFL.
Can honestly say I never seen a AFL game on TV until like 1965-66.
Sorry but only compared them to XFL because it is new now too.
Don't think I'm tarnishing the HoF's from AFL because the NFL does recognize the early years now.Just like when you go to Canton now, you see USFL stats on some HoF'ers plaques.
If the int's don't matter ,then Paul Krause wouldn't have the all-time NFL Record of 81 then .He played in that era too.
As far as his int's / td's
TD's (236) Int's (277)
He had John Madden as a coach. Making things easy :)
@@badcornflakes6374 Had George Halas as a head coach before Madden.
Been a Seahawks fan my whole life so got to see plenty of Frank Gore. The fact he's never mentioned when talking about all time great Running Back's is almost criminal. I've probably lost 10 years of life due to stress related to watching Frank Gore pull off huge runs in clutch situations to seal a Niners win against the Seahawks. Nothing but respect for that man.
Colts fan enjoyed the 3 years he played for us the fans here called him “Frank the tank”
I love the transition KTO, kind of gives me FlemLo vibes. Makes it more personal, loving the growth on this channel.
Yeah I agree but stopped watching Flem Lo when he got into the political BS.
“Tramon Williams is the oldest DB in the NFL”
Mike Adams: Am I a joke to you?
Mike Adams retired this year
Nice last name
Mike Adams retired as a Safety
Infamous Horse a safety is still adb
Big dolphins fan, and frank gore is one of my favorite all time players. When he played for Miami he was about as hard of a runner I’ve ever seen, always picked up good yards. Wish he never would have left
He is a God of football
Same goes for the 49ers. Wish he had never left us.
KTO: Uploads
Me: Finally no more boredom
So you're telling me that at 37 years old, my dreams of making it to the NFL still has a chance.
Just need to learn to kick.
And I thought Vince Carter was old
That is absolutely ancient for basketball... They have different wear and tear and rarely get anywhere close to 40.
Right?!
I remember watching TV as a kid, George Blanda making that 52 yard kick. The whole house was cheering. Amazing!
Video request: the nfl player who died on the field (Chuck Hughes) and what happened to one of the best QB rooms Jt Barrett, Joe burrow, and Dwayne Haskins there where once all at Ohio state and this video was amazing Thx for the likes everyone.
O-H
@@BDR-yo6ss I-O
He did a video on when OSU had JT, Braxton Miller, and cardale Jones
Ya but two out of those three people are not in my request is Dwayne Haskins, it barret, and joe burrow also I have been watching kto since 300k I know what videos he’s made
Yeah Mikerophone mad one on Chuck Hughes
Vinatieri has been in the league longer than he hasn’t been
Noice
I wish NFL coaches would start wearing suites on the sideline again. I think it looks classy and cool
The suits get ruined by the Gatorade showers tho
I mean u think the coaches will feel comfy standing for like 3 hours in a full suit in the hot weather? No they won't so they not gonna do it.
Ronak Kakar who asked ?
@@ronakkakar7893 NBA coaches wear them fine.
@@TarmaanProductions The average coach makes 6 million a year. That's more than enough to buy a new suit. Plus coaches only get Gatorade showers when they win big games which is super rare for most coaches.
KTO : Browns fans
Flemlo : Bengals fans
UrinatingTree : Steelers fans
Someone go convert FivePoints into a Ravens fan
No
Thing is, is that the Bengals are in a different division then the Browns, Steelers and Ravens.
@@velikynovgorod4358 for real dude, they are in the super bowl.
I bet a year ago you would call me crazy
I must say.. watching George Blanda was a treat.. I have watched football from 1961 to date.. In the 70’s every time he went on the field I got goosebumps.. It’s impossible to describe the feeling.. Just amazing this man who play with such heart.. While I am at it I must say Gale sayers and Dick Butkus we’re really great players in the era.. Thx for the video ….I got the feeling all over again about George Blanda..😊😀😋
5:55 - the definition of “hold my beer”
Old man Blanda! Saw him play several times! He was also a Quarterback who stayed in to kick his own extra points!
I feel lucky to have seen George Blanda play live. In Arrowhead. He kicked the game winning FG in 10 degree weather. He was amazing. I began watching the Raiders in 1965 when I was five. I watched ALL the classic games. I just remember Blanda being the hero so many games. Even though it sucks being a little older, i feel fortunate to have been able to see all those great games.
48-yr old George Blanda looked old enough to be my father today. And I'm 54.
@Matt Joseph Well he probably worked hard and he probably partied hard, also.
Growing up in the bay area Blanda was a legend while he was still playing. Thanks for the memories
I was 7 years old when my dad started taking me to the Oilers games here in Houston. Blanda was the QB and they won the AFL title. That was 1960. Watched him play around the league for the rest of his long career.
Thanks for posting. Nice work.
Love your videos dro. Always calm and collected, without the loud fluff
THAT WAS EXCELLENT! My major was communication with an emphasis on public speaking. Dude, you knock it out of the park! (Oh, and by the way, it looks like I might have a chance for a great comeback...at 71).
Fantastic video my dude. As a lifelong 9er fan that ending hit hard, Frank Gore is a legend and will always be in that conversation. Forever loved by the 9er faithful no matter where his career takes him.
Awesome video just cited this to many other celebs.
great videos. i love that you narrate them yourself, and do an excellent job of it!
Last time I was this early the Texans where up 24-0
The NFL is considering having their teams play to empty stadiums and no fans.
The Chargers have been preparing for this their whole lives. 😁
Lmbo, between here and paternity court you have me cracking up
True
imma chargers fan but thats facts
The only reason the Bengals have some fans in the stadium is because they're rooting for the other team.
Overused joke, but true nonetheless
the endings of your videos are always too lit... keep up the good work!
In 1970 Blanda was NFL player of the year at 43 years old. Blanda's last pass was on MNF in 1974. He came off the bench and hit Cliff Branch for a TD
KTO still da king yo. Salutations from Ireland ☘
I used to go crazy with George Blanda in the PS3 madden games
This was really well done. Thanks for posting
Great video as always. Thx 4 putting a picture of Scott player at the beginning of the video. Frank Gore is underrated 4 sure
Wasn’t Darrel green the guy who also put tootsie rolls in his socks and said it made him run faster 🤣
Yes.
James King what?
James King 💀🤡
Frank Gore is a legit HoF’er. Guy doesn’t get near the credit he deserves.
Loved his time on the niners because im a niners fan.
Without question. He's a great for more than just stats. His durability, talent, work ethic, selflessness, and intangibles he brings to a locker room are off the charts . The fact that he's going to on an active NFL roster as a running back, and will have a son starting his freshman year of college football at Southern Miss is almost as mind-blowing.
gynandroidhead i just wanna see Frank Gore and his Son play 1 season on the same team,
@@ZachNarwhal Me too.
frank gore also had to endure a lot of adversity due to him being African American in the USA and racism and hatred from opposing fans and even his own teams fans.
Dude is legit an isnpiratishion
I'm enjoying your videos, KTO. Thanks !!!
I had to subscribe! You are amazing in your study and with no drama, no bs, easy listening voice, etc. etc. Thank you for being so professional
Sorry Shannon n Skip (fingernails on the chalkboard crew)
George Blanda: *throws 42 interceptions*
Jameis Winston: That’s cute
Your endings are always so cool!
Loved Blanda. He was an effective QB, even late in his career. Too bad he wasn't on that SB team. Thanks for posting this.
Frank Gore was such an amazing RB on the 49ers and he was actually there for quite a long time. Now he's been on multiple different teams for more than half as much time and is still going strong thus far
Holly Toledo! George Blanda was one of the best
I love kto and he uploaded! I love the documentary style of his videos.
Great job! Thank you very much!
When kto uploads I click on that so fast
Larry not retiring until he gets a ring
Hopefully
Fax
Andy Gygi I hope not I feel the cards are so close to wining the big game
Andy Gygi the defense is enough to get by would I like it to be better yes but it can get the job done against most teams the o line is just incredibly average but if Murray can be that next Russ Wilson then that’s all it needs to be
Andy Gygi I think the best case scenario this year is they go 11-5 and win a playoff game. But next year they will probably be Super Bowl contenders
I was 14 and watched Blanda save the game 5 times that year. It was amazing! I bet he's the only player to score a touchdown, extra point and field goal in the same game. He'd have probably got a touch back too if they would have let him play defense, he was that focused on getting it done that season.
Hey great video. Great show!
I still have my man frank gore jersey, if he isn’t hall of fame I give up, literally in the top 10 for running backs
I’m 46 and when he was 43, he looked 15 yrs older than me 😂🤣‼️
This is one of the best done sports videos I’ve ever seen. Well done.
What most of the younger guys do not remember is that George Blanda did these kind of heroics year in and year out. It was thrilling to watch this man play at his age and come off the bench, to save the day.
Can you do a video about the 70s Minnesota Vikings?
Add a public comment...
CZcamsr?
BMZ Alex nah his favorite CZcams. I guess a knockoff CZcams posted another video but this CZcams posted and it’s his favorite
Triple Chrizzy it’s spelled right right? Lmao🤣🤦♂️
same
I really enjoyed this video Blanda, Green, Gore...great stories.
My gosh he changed, never watched him in a while and he...grew😂 love this channel man, keep up❤️
Here’s a video idea: What if Eli Manning played for San Diego
don’t let this video distract you from the fact
lightning mcqueen blew a 2 lap lead in the piston cup
It was due to injuries, he tore both acls, broke 5 ribs, and couldn't see out one eye
Great stuff, lived thru every minute ❤️
Yay You Uploaded Thanks for the high quality video!
I can still run a 6 minute mile and watched George Blanda play when I was a kid.
“Holy Toledo”
RIP Bill King.
Bill King was a goddamn legend. Probably my favorite broadcaster of all time. No one could turn a phrase like him.
Please continue making this sort of fascinating content. You are THE BEST sports history analyst on CZcams
Another banger! Keep it up kto
I’m not first
I’m not last
But when KTO post
I click fast
Do the Minnesota Vikings in the 60s
GREAT SHOW. GREAT HISTORY. GREAT COMMENTARY! brings back many memories! THANK YOU.
Awesome video thank you
If you feel like it makes sense, I'd love to hop on a video with you.
Yoooo I watch your vids
Yooo the clickbait king
Fun Fact: Tom Brady is the only active player left to be drafted by the Montreal Expos

Thanks for covering Darrell Green! He was one of my childhood heroes 👌 and was a positive influence on the community outside of the game.
love the new video styles man!! big fan of your channel
I’m gonna have my retirement party from the NFL in two years. Everyone who watches this video is invited 🍾🏈🎊🎉
