One thing that has always fascinated me about professional football is finding out when a current or former NFL player has a relative who also played in the NFL. Example did you know that former Minnesota Vikings, WR Jake Reed and Kansas City Chiefs, CB Dale Carter where brothers? Did you know that Adalius Thomas and Justin Tuck are cousins? Or what about brothers, Gene and Scott Mruckowski, filling roster spots with the New England Patriots and the San Diego Chargers. Maybe it’s just me but I always thought that was interesting information and sometimes helped understand why a guy signs with a certain team via free agency.Here is this year’s addition of the We Are Family Tree:
Virginia’s Chris Long the likely #1 pick is the son of NFL Hall of Fame defensive lineman, Howie Long.
Minnesota safety, Dominique Barber is the brother of Dallas Cowboys, Marion Barber.
Washington State safety, Husain Abdullah is the brother of Denver Broncos safety Hamza Abdullah.
Texas safety, Marcus Griffin is the twin brother of Titans DB Michael Griffin.
Florida WR, Andre Caldwell brother is NFL player, Reche Caldwell.
Missouri TE, Martin Rucker is the brother to Carolina DE Mike Rucker.
Tennessee State CB, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, is the first cousin of Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
Oregon QB, Brady Leaf is the brother of former second pick of the entire draft, Ryan Leaf.
Arizona cornerback, Antoine Cason CB, is the brother to running back of the Detroit Lions, Aveion Cason.
Erin Henderson OLB from Maryland is the brother of Minnesota Vikings, E.J. Henderson.
Ali Highsmith OLB, from LSU is a cousin to former NFL player Alonzo Highsmith.
Bruce Davis OLB from UCLA is the son of former Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers OT, Bruce Davis.
Bo Ruud OLB Nebraska, is the younger brother of Tampa Bay Buccanners Barrett Ruud.
Simeon Castille FS Alabama, is the brother of current Arizona Cardinals, Tim Castille, and the son of former NFL Jeremiah Castille.
