you know a lot of players become coaches right? like, i don't know, jerry gray (DC/ DBs coach) who was a CB for 9 years. A player can be an extra set of eyes looking at a guy's technique and other teams' film to study tendencies. actual experience with other players from other teams can give them insight and good first hand scouting reports too. (ie marcus played in indy for years. Since we only see them once every four years, he probably has a better handle on some of the individual tendencies of thier players right now).

not to mention the off field stuff. players are more likely to listen when vets closer to their age tell what they should do or that something's stupid than a 60+ year old coach (who's part of management).
