The two quarterbacks came out on top on Wednesday after a dramatic golf match against Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Under the rules of the match, both players on each team would hit their tee shots before selecting the best drive to use for their second shot. At that point, they would then play their own ball and the lowest score for each team would be the one that counted on the hole (I'm not good at writing about golf rules, so hopefully that made sense).If you didn't catch the event, here's what you mi sed:Rodgers wins the match with dramatic putt. With the two teams tied on the final hole, Rodgers needed to sink a 15-foot putt for the win and that's exactly what he did and Marco Estrada Jersey the QB knew the ball was going in almost as soon as he hit it (You ). Rodgers had a pretty solid day. Not only did he get a birdie on the first hole, but he also birdied the final hole, which allowed Brady and Rodgers to win.Josh Allen took out a few fans. The QB was erratic for most of the day, but that didn't prevent him from having a few solid holes. One of his most dramatic shots in the 12-hole match came on the 11th hole when his shot landed on the green AFTER hitting a fan (you ). Allen also nearly sank a 100-FOOT putt that would have sent the match to a playoff, but it mi sed by just an inch or two (Click ). Patrick Mahomes was on fire thanks to Coors Light. Although Mahomes got off to a slow start, he eventually caught fire and pulled his team back into the match. The most impre sive part is that Mahomes did all of this while . I usually get worse when I drink beer on the course, Mahomes somehow got better.Tom Brady had an interesting day. Although Brady had a decent day, he also struggled at times. On one hole, he sliced a tee shot so badly that it went roughly 50 yards off the fairway (You ). Brady also had a chance to win the match on the final hole, but he mi sed the putt that Rodgers eventually made. That being said, Brady did , which is what life is all about when you're golfing with buddies.If you want to read a full recap of the event, . 3. Top 25 NFL players under the age of 25If you look at rosters around the NFL -- and totally ignore the fact that Brady exists -- you'll notice that for the most part, football is a young man's game. Due to that fact, we make a special list every offseason of the best 25 best players who are aged 25 Roberto Alomar Jersey or under and that list is out today.Cody Benjamin ranked this year's cla s and if you check out his entire rankings, you'll notice one thing: There are a lot of offensive players on the list. Of the 25 players, there are 14 offensive players, including seven quarterbacks and four receivers. Here's a look at the top 10 players on the list along with their age:1. QB (24)2. QB (25)3. QB (25)4. DE (23)5. WR (23)6. Bengals WR (22)7. OT (23)8. QB (25)9. Packers CB (25)10. RB (23)Two things that jump out of the top 10 for me: The Bengals are the only team with two players in the top 10, so I'm gue sing they probably feel pretty good about their future. Also, Aaron Sanchez Jersey the top 10 is going to have a drastically different look next season since four of the players on the list won't be eligible in 2023 due to their age (Jackson, Murray, Alexander and Burrow).By the way, players were able to qualify for this list as long as they are 25 or younger when the 2022 season officially begins on Sept. 8, so if they were to turn 26 on Sept. 9, they'd still qualify.
