Take A Look At Best Brothers Combo In NFL History

Two brothers will play against one another in the 2023 Super Bowl for the first time in the history of the game, making it a historic event.

Both Jason Kelce, a centre for the Eagles, and Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Chiefs, will try to defeat the other in order to win their respective teams the Super Bowl. Travis won his first championship when the Chiefs defeated the 49ers in Super Bowl 54, while Jason won his first when the Eagles defeated the Patriots in Super Bowl 52.

Since John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh competed as opposing coaches in the Ravens vs. 49ers Super Bowl, this is the biggest brother versus. brother contest to have occurred.

There are many famous families in the NFL, and many brothers and sisters have achieved success at the top level of football. Determining which grouping of related players is the best is no easy task, but it’s clear that the Kelces are among the best.

We did our best to rank the NFL’s top sibling combinations of all time.

Take A Look At Best Brothers Combo In NFL History

Stefon and Trevon Diggs

It will be fun to see these two ball hawks go head-to-head for the first time in 2023. Stefon has five straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons and Trevon has 17 interceptions in three seasons.

Only 28 players in the history of the NFL have ever intercepted more passes than Trevon did in the 2021 season. He should continue to be a great ballhawk because he was the first player in 40 years to attain that amount. He may suffer too many setbacks for some people’s tastes, but playing cornerback means taking risks.

Stefon topped the league in receptions (127) and yards (1,535) in his debut season with the Bills in 2020. He has now recorded five seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards. A Super Bowl victory would significantly enhance his reputation and solidify the Diggses’ position as one of the league’s top brother teams.

Right now, their rating is more indicative of their potential to continue producing at a high rate. They’re certainly among the best pairs playing in the league at the moment.

Joey and Nick Bosa

Two Ohio State products. Two top-three draft picks. Two pass-rushers. Two Defensive Rookie of the Year winners. But Nick might be about to add the first Defensive Player of the Year award after a family-best 18.5-sack season.

Since they initially entered the league, the Bosas have consistently been among the league’s top pass rushers. In 147 games, they have recorded 112.5 sacks collectively. For the first time ever, brothers each took home the Defensive Rookie of the Year award from the NFL.

Nick led the NFL in sacks in 2022 with 18.5 and is expected to maintain his double-digit totals as long as he stays healthy. If they keep playing at that level, the brothers will have a real opportunity to reach 200 total sacks, though Joey’s health is a concern.

Maurkice and Mike Pouncey

The Pouncey twins’ careers started a year apart, much like the McCourtys’ did. First-round pick of the 2010 Steelers, Maurkice departed Florida a year early. Mike was selected by the Dolphins in the 2011 draught. The brothers were two of the greatest centres of the last ten years and have played in 13 Pro Bowls together.

After participating in eight 2010s Pro Bowls and aiding the Steelers in their transformation into an offensive powerhouse, Maurkice was named to the All-Decade squad. Mike Pouncey struggled with hip issues in the middle of his career and was forced to play for inferior Dolphins teams. But he recovered and led the 12-4 Chargers to a Pro Bowl season in 2018. In 2021, both ex-Gators retired on the same day.

Sam and Randall Cunningham

Sam “Bam” and Randall Cunningham wrote vastly dissimilar NFL stories thirteen years apart. Prior to Randall’s 10-year career starting, the former was a bruising fullback. Sam, a first-round selection in 1973, had the most running yards in Patriots history with 5,453 yards. He was a one-time Pro Bowler.

The Eagles quarterback Randall was one of the NFL’s biggest draws in the 1980s and early 1990s because of his unparalleled elusiveness. He ran for 942 yards in 1990 — the third of his three Philly Pro Bowl slates. Randall resurfaced after a 1996 sabbatical, becoming an All-Pro while piloting the ’98 Vikings’ record-setting offense.

Ronde and Tiki Barber

The Barbers, two of the finest players of the 2000s and the NFL’s iconic twins, have established themselves as media staples since retiring. Tiki and Ronde, two 1997 draught selections in the second and third rounds, have spent their whole careers with one organisation.

Tiki did not become effective until he was in his late 20s, but each of his final three seasons, from 2004 to 2006, featured 2,000 scrimmage yards. In three consecutive years, just three other players have accomplished it. Before the Giants’ 2007 Super Bowl season, Tiki announced his retirement. Ronde continued for another six years, concluding his career with 47 INTs and five Pro Bowl appearances. His pick-six in the 2002 NFC championship game guaranteed the Buccaneers’ lone trip to the Super Bowl.

J.J., Derek and T.J. Watt

T.J. has developed into a top outside linebacker, while J.J. Watt is one of the best defensive linemen in the league. Derek, the middle brother, has quietly played for five seasons and is now allied with T.J. in Pittsburgh despite having the option to go by D.J. As a Texan, J.J. won three Defensive Player of the Year honours and has had the top three seasons in tackles for loss in this century.

In Arizona, the well-liked NFL player plans to work productively into his 30s. T.J., who ran roughshod over left tackles on route to 42.5 sacks since 2018, is now bearing the load for the Watts. The youngest Watt, who in 2020 led the NFL in sacks, has the potential to push this sibling trio even further in the future.

Clay and Bruce Matthews

The Matthews brothers played in the NFL for a total of 38 seasons, each for 19. Although Bruce’s career was more successful and he was elected to the Hall of Fame on the first vote, his older brother was one of the greatest players in Browns history.

Despite starting his career four years before the sack era, Clay has the most sacks in Browns history with 62. The linebacker was a pillar of Cleveland’s four playoff defences from 1985 to 1989 and was selected to four Pro Bowls. From 1981 until 1993, Bruce twice a year played against Clay, dominating at guard, centre, and even tackle. The most Pro Bowl appearances in NFL history are 14 by Bruce, who earned them during the course of his final 14 seasons, from Warren Moon’s Run and Shoot to Eddie George’s heyday.

Jamie and Darren Sharper

Since the former safety was given an 18-year jail sentence in 2016, Darren Sharper’s legacy remains murky. He was among the most active defensive backs of his time. The 13 defensive touchdowns scored by the younger Sharper sibling are tied for the most ever. His 376 return yards from the Super Bowl-winning Saints club in 2009 still stand as an NFL record.

Jamie, who was a year older, was a part of possibly the strongest defence in history. The outside linebacker participated in the Ravens’ 2000 Super Bowl run alongside Ray Lewis and Peter Boulware. In nine seasons, Jamie started 135 games, including his greatest work with the Ravens and the first three Texans teams.

Jason and Travis Kelce

The Kelces are two athletes who will one day have cases for the Hall of Fame and have long been among the greatest in their fields. LeSean McCoy’s 2013 rushing championship was paved in part by Jason, who has three years in a row been named to the first team of the All-Pro. The Eagles centre also had one of the greatest Super Bowl parade performances.

Since his recovery from a microfracture surgery in 2013, Travis has been the Chiefs’ go-to target, and he is now having the most productive stretch in tight end history. He has shared that rise with Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes, making him the only tight end with five consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards. The Chiefs won their first Super Bowl in 50 years under Travis and the latter quarterback.

Peyton and Eli Manning

One of the best NFL players and a two-time Super Bowl MVP came from this family. The siblings developed into two of this century’s most influential athletes, despite the fact that their on-field antics were completely different from one another, with Peyton’s pre-snap theatrics and manic determination diverging from Eli’s even-keeled manner.

With five MVP awards and seven first-team All-Pro selections, Peyton leads the quarterback field by a margin of two, and his record-breaking 2013 season elevated him even higher. Eli lost three times to his brother, although he was the first to win two rings thanks to his outstanding playoff performances in 2007 and 2011, which made up for his regularly mocked regular-season performance. Eli won’t likely join Peyton in the Hall of Fame despite having fewer seasons (18) than Peyton.
