If there's an assumption that players decline based on age, it would make sense (to me) that as players play into their 20's they mature and as a result of that they improve....right?

Not simply because they are aging, but because they improve due to the training and experience. With proper tutelage and opportunity most players will peak in their early to mid- 20’s. On the converse side, players lose skills as they age – in large part because their physical attributes decline with age (starting in the early 30’s). Some skills are affected at younger ages than others. Steve
