Why didn't I know this?

Carson Palmer's backup at QB is.....his brother, Jordan Palmer.
I was not aware of that.

You clearly have to watch more Bengals preseason games. Though, I thought he was still third string. Interesting to know that he's moved up the totem pole.

I wonder how many NFL players have brothers who are also playing in the league. I know Cullen Jenkins' brother Kris plays NT for the Jets. We had Orrin and Jeremy Thompson a few years back. Clay Matthews' little brother Casey is a senior linebacker for the Oregon Ducks, and will presumably get drafted next year. Minnesota has Erin and E.J. Henderson in their LB corps. Perhaps this is more common than I thought.

JT O'Sullivan was #2, and they released him today, making Palmer #2. They also signed Dan LeFevour off waivers

Don't forget the Mannings.

But I can't think of many brothers playing for the same team and at the same position at the same time!

guess we need to draft the younger mathews then.

He's a pretty good player, he plays MLB for the Ducks I believe. Possibly a little undersized, but productive and he's on a whole bunch of national award watch lists. I wouldn't be against it, but I probably wouldn't want to draft him high.

That being said, scouting Oregon defensive players is hard. They don't have a real defensive identity beyond "everybody run around a lot".

Don't we already have a middle linebacker from Oregon?
