And the NFL just yawned and went in other directions.
Last 4 seasons:
60 games / 175 tackles / 23.0 sacks / 05 PD / Erik Walden (31 years old)
57 games / 150 tackles / 20.5 sacks / 13 PD / Jabaal Sheard (27 years old)
What a difference being under 30 or over 30 means in the NFL.

Under 30 and good in coverage vs. over 30 and poor in coverage.
