Making it into the NFL is extremely difficult.
Of the tens of thousands of players who participate in youth, high school, and college football, only a select few will ever make it to the NFL.
Sure, there are 53 spots on every active roster, but just because teams have a lot of roster spots, doesn’t mean that they are easy to come by.
While it’s a tall task for any individual to make it to the NFL, it’s another story to have another family member in the league.
There have been some impressive family duos throughout the years, including several elite pairs of brothers.
Jason Kelce knows a thing or two about being a powerful brotherly duo in the NFL, and he recently spoke to Ryan Clark on the Pivot Podcast about the top five siblings in league history.
Jason Kelce’s NFL siblings top 5!
1. @EliManning & Peyton Manning
2. @ShannonSharpe & @SterlingSharpe_
3. @JJWatt & @_TJWatt
4. The Matthews- (ALL OF EM)
5. @rondebarber & @TikiBarberAgree with @JasonKelce’s list? @thepivot https://t.co/v6UGqYeWZJ pic.twitter.com/t7BFs2ryYy

He started the list by calling out Peyton and Eli Manning, followed by Shannon and Sterling Sharpe, T.J. and J.J. Watt, the Matthews family, and Ronde and Tiki Barber.
All five of these families are impressive in their own right.
Kelce failed to mention himself and his brother, Travis.
Travis, of course, is one of the best tight ends in league history, and many believe Jason will be a Hall of Fame center when all is said and done.
They might belong in the top five, but Jason was too modest to include himself on the list.
He was recently chosen to be an analyst, so this type of conversation will only continue when the season starts.
