    Dolphins land two players on best in NFL over 30 list

    The NFL is frequently described as a young man's game.  Players are believed to peak in their mid-20s, and due to the physicality of the game, they tend to decline as they approach 30.

    That is not the case for two Miami Dolphins players who made the Top 20 list of NFL players over 30.  They are two of the offense's most prolific scores, combining for 34 touchdowns.  That was nearly 60% of the total touchdowns scored by the entire Dolphins roster (57) last season.

    They are wide receiver Tyreek Hill, the second-ranked player on the list, and running back Raheem Mostert ranked 19th.

    Hill turned 30 in March and is known by his nickname "Cheetah" for his superior speed and route-running skills.  Mostert is 32, and he outscored Hill last year with 18 rushing (a career high) and 3 receiving touchdowns compared to Hill's 13 and a career-high 1,799 receiving yards.

    These 30-something players take the pressure off of Tua Tagovailoa because of their playmaking abilities and are a part of a dynamic Dolphins offense.
