By the time you hit a guy in his 7th year in the league, he's at about 29 yrs old so he's still as physically strong as he was. He's also been a good enough player to hang around 7 years and so he's been able to learn as he's been in the league.

After the 7 year mark you're finding guys that are in their 30s and starting to break down (because DTs are heavy and it's hard on their bodies).

It's probably selection bias as much as anything.
Yeah, that's why I included the number of players for each year as well. There are twice as many rookies playing as there are 7th year guys.
