And I think that they will. I'm like you with Brady. But Brady is a different kind of athlete - different training / diet, etc... Even Kirk Cousins has taken training / dieting / sleeping tips from Brady. He has inspired a new generation of athletes so only time will tell if playing into the 40's is the "new thing"

I just don't see it happening with more brutal positions like Offensive Lineman, Running Backs, etc...
