Hello football friends, and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! The second week of the preseason is kicking off tonight with two games and one of those games will take place in Los Angeles with the Chargers hosting the 49ers. Based on how training camp has gone for the 49ers from a healthy standpoint so far, they'll be lucky if they even have enough players to suit up for this game.
I'm not blaming the electrical substation for the injuries, but if I ran the 49ers, I would just have the team fly to Australia now so they can get as far away from that electrical substation as possible. The 49ers have an aging roster and some of their best players -- like Christian McCaffrey, Mike Evans and Trent Williams -- are in the 30-and-over club, which I'm only mentioning, because we're going to rank the 30 best players 30 and over today. We're also going to go around the NFL and name one person from each team who's on the hot seat.

Let's get to the rundown. There are plenty of NFL head coaches on the hot seat right now, but they're not the only ones. There are plenty of players and assistant coaches who are also under a lot of pressure heading into the upcoming season.
As a matter of fact, there are so many people on the hot seat this year that Zach Pereles was able to make a list of 32 different people -- one from each team -- who are on the hot seat. Let's check out four names from his list: There are 28 other names on our hot seat list and you can check out all of them here. If you are in the 30-and-over club, NFL stands for "Not For Long," because there's a good chance that your career won't be lasting much longer.
Unless you're a quarterback or kicker, most players are out of the league or they see their production fall off a cliff after turning 30. Basically, football is a young man's game, but there are some old guys who have managed to stay relevant into their 30s and Tyler Sullivan is here to tell us who. Sullivan recently ranked the top 30 NFL players 30 and over and we're going to check out the top five names on his list: 1.
