There's no way to say this without it sounding untrue, so best to just say it: George Blanda played in the NFL for 26 years. As a dual Quarterback / Kicker.

26 YEARS! He was throwing touchdown passes until he turned 48. It's unfathomable!

Obviously nobody has beaten this record, with the nearest second being Morten Andersen, a Kicker for various teams who retired in 2007, with a massive 25 seasons under his belt, but it's not as if he was playing in a QB capacity.
