For the first time since 1995, Safety John Lynch will be competing for a starting job.
Lynch will be 37, into his 16th, and likely last, season in the NFL. He was the league's oldest DB last year.
His 9 Pro Bowl selections at the safety position are more than any other HOFer except for Ken Houston, who had 10.

John Lynch: One more time - The Denver Post

The biggest weakness of Lynch is his age which has taken away his speed. But still he is feared as one of the league's hardest hitters and he is a smart, instinctive player.

He can be as smart and instinctive as he wants, but if his body can't too what his mind tells him to do, it won't matter.
I like John Lynch, but I gotta tell ya, I'm real surprised he's coming back for this 16th season.

Great post Bette! My only wish for John Lynch is to stay healthy, if he can do this, he can really help the Broncos despite his age. He can still hit as hard as anybody in the NFL but definetely not quite as fast...but can hold his own. I have always been a huge fan of John and consider him one of the greatest safeties to play the game. I will be rooting for John all year as the article is probably right, John's last year.

John Lynch, I'm surprised he's coming back myself. 16th season age is really taking a toll and playing a postion such as safety. That must be tough. Hes a ROF for sure and he can still hit and cover for his age. I mean Lynch is very intelligent as well on the ball. I wish him luck...

He's played more as a 4th lineback rather than deep safety. They know he cant keep up with those receivers.
He had considered retirement. I dont know why he wanted one more year. The Broncos had cut his pay and at first he was going to become a free agent but then he and his family decided to take the pay cut and stay where they were.
I have always been a fan of him too. I also hope he stays healthy this year for his sake as well as the Broncos.
