Another question for the oldsters

[Mr. Scot]

So how many can say (like me) that when you watch NFL games today, some of the players are the kids of guys you watched play back in the day?

If so, who are the fathers and sons?

[TarPanther9180]

Does the Feagles kid at UNC count?

I barely remember watching Archie Manning play, but it was towards the end of his career.

Archie Manning-Peyton Manning-Eli Manning

Joe Klecko - Dan Klecko

Howie Long - Chris long

Bob Greise - Brian Greise

Kellen Winslow - Kellen Winslow

Maurice - Ran Carthon

Terry - Eric Metcalf

Phil - Chris Simms

I don't remember him playing, but of course I remember him coaching.

Don Shula - Mike Shula

Brothers:

Steve and Leo Wisnewski

Peyton & Eli Manning

Tim amd Matt Hasselbeck

I'm sure there's several more, these are just off the top of me head.

Every time I see Tatupu on the Seahawks I think of his father returning kickoffs for NE in the 80's

[Mr. Scot]

Currently playing...

Chris Long (son of Howie)

Clay Matthews III (son of Clay Jr, nephew of Bruce)

Kellen Winslow II (son of Kellen I)

Chris Simms (son of Phil)

Lofa Tatupu (son of Mosei)

Matt Hasselbeck (son of Don)

Peyton Manning (son of Archie, duh)

Eli Manning (ditto)

Formerly in the NFL...

Brian Griese (son of Bob)

Tim Hasselbeck (son of Don, Matt's brother)

Ryan Nece (son of Ronnie Lott)

Ran Carthon (son of Maurice, currently on the same staff)

Marques Tuiasosopo (son of Manu)

Dan Klecko (son of Joe)

Anthony Dorsett (son of Tony)

Currently in college...

Nick Toon (son of Al, who apparently never heard of Nickelodeon)

Casey Matthews (son of Clay, younger brother of Clay III)

Matt Simms (son of Phil, Chris' younger brother, still has his spleen)

London Fryar (son of Irving Fryar)

Chris Feagles (son of Jeff, and yeah he counts)

Mike Golic Jr (son of Mike, from Mike and Mike)

Jake Golic (the younger of the Golic boys)

Austin Collinsworth (son of Cris, teammates with the Golic boys at Notre Dame)

Nate Montana (take a guess)

Jack Elway (ditto)

And of course, there was Michael Munoz (almost)

The Matthews boys are actually third generation players (grandpa Clay Sr played for the Niners). I think the only members of the Matthews family that don't play football are their mothers and sisters.

bolded are the fathers i remember. only sons of those i havent seen though are the ones currently in college.

[Mr. Scot]

One other note that amuses me.

Chris Mortensen's son Alex plays quarterback (graduated from Arkansas). He was available in this past year's draft.

At one point in the draft broadcast, Chris turned to ESPN colleague Mel Kiper to ask him for an evaluation of son Alex as a draft prospect.

Mel's response? "I think he has a great future in coaching"

Alex wasn't drafted, but the Titans took him to camp as an undrafted. He didn't even make it to first cuts.

Doesn't or didn't Barry Sanders have a son in college?

[Doyle]

Doesn't or didn't Barry Sanders have a son in college?

Yes Colonel.

[TarPanther9180]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Phil and Chris Sims.

[Kettle]

I've been watching since the early 80's. Some of the sons have different surnames so it isn't as obvious to me, but I remember watching Phil Simms, Ronnie Lott and Howie Long very well.

[Epistaxis]

Yeah Scot, it does make ya feel old when you see this.

Just here in town NU has a guy coaching that I watched play when I was in grad school, Pat Fitzgerald. Guy is younger than me and is coaching div I.

I am a man, and not yet 40, but it still kinda freaks me out.

Walter's daughter is a sideline reporter for some of the Big10 games too.
