Though most NFL players are in their 20s and 30s, the average age of head coaches and coordinators for all 32 NFL teams is 49 years old as of Aug. 13, according to data collected by ESPN’s NFL Nation. Of that group, 20 of those coaches are 60 or older.
As per a report published on Aug. 14 from ESPN’s Tim McManus, at least nine NFL coaches have tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source familiar with the situation. Eight of those cases have occurred since June 17. According to the CDC, the risk goes up as you age — eight of 10 COVID-19 deaths reported in the United States have been in adults 65 and older — and increases for those with underlying conditions including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, sickle cell disease and obesity.
