Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden is 28 years old, his leadership and maturity are two of his strongest attributes. Weeden is asking teams to look past his age when considering him in the NFL Draft. “I’ve already been a pro,†Weeden told Dan Patrick on his show Monday. “From a maturity standpoint, I can handle more thrown on my plate quicker than the next guy. … There’s a lot more positive than negatives.†Weeden said at first teams were scared off by his age, but the more he sat with them, they came to see it more of a positive. Weeden said he hopes no one thinks less of him because of his age. “Treat me like I am 22,†Weeden said. “I don’t believe my age should even affect [anything]. I don’t think many people plan on playing 20 years in the NFL.†Source: The Redzone
Chris Weinke and John Beck made sure that age will always be a factor for older QB's. I wouldn't take him in the first two days if I was drafting.

I think the Browns are gonna take him at some point. Where that'll be I'm not sure, but id be shocked if it was earlier than 37.
did anyone see his film sitdown with gruden? weeden is a freaking d-bag. he was telling gruden about his failed baseball attempt, "oh, i could sling it. oh, yeah, i could sling it." and when gruden asked him why teams should look past his age and draft him, he very arrogantly answered, "i'm a winner. i know how to win." guy came off as a huge d-bag
