You’re right. Joe desperately wanted to turn both son into star quarterbacks and was constantly moving them from high school to high school to high school, and then, later, from college to college to college. Neither of ‘em were ever anywhere near NFL-level players. It was kind of sad, as they both kept doggedly pursuing their old man’s career path. As the saying goes, there are no second acts.

Tell that to Howie Long’s kids. Both were in the NFC Championship game last yer on opposing teams.

Fair enough. And, of course, there’s Archie Manning and his sons. The Montana boys just didn’t have it, though.

Who knows... maybe Jennifer Montana contributed unathletic genes. Christian McCaffrey has followed his dad into the NFL, but Christian’s mom was a soccer star. The Agassi-Graf son is supposedly a pretty good baseball player though apparently not a tennis player, which is interesting as he’s an ultra-rare example of two superstars of the same sport breeding.
