Is there a better football bloodline than the Matthews?

After watching Casey Matthews last night for Oregon it looks like this kid might be as good as his brother Clay.

Grandfather Clay Sr. played 4 years in the NFL.
Son Clay II played 19 years in the NFL as linebacker. Son Bruce is an NFl HOFer and 14 time probowler.

Grandsons include:

Clay III Green Bay
Casey, Oregon
Kevin, C, Tenn Titans
Jake, T, Texas A&M.

Is there a bloodline even close to this?

Manning would probably be the best competitors, but I think the Matthews is still the better bloodline. 3 generations and 5 NFL players, with another about to be drafted (possibly Jake in a few years too).

I think his name alone pumps him about 20 spots in the draft. He seems to play just like his brother, almost a can't miss. Im not sure how their size compares.

His Dad was my favorite Browns player for many years.

Not as good bloodline-wise, but worth noting:

Rob, Chris, and Dan Gronkowski all play in the NFL. Dad played football at Syracuse and great-grandfather was an Olympian.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Manning brothers has a son that gets in the league and that would put them over the top.

The Golic's will prob have a son or 2 get close to the league too.

Also think of the TV commercial possibilities!

Faulk!

Kevin and Marshall are cousins.

They have over 15,000 rushing yards and over 10,000 receiving yards between them...not to mention 4 Super bowls!

But seriously though, The Matthews Family has produced some serious talent recently and if you are talking pure talent and not production I'd say yes because of the shear multitude of them performing at a high level now.

If they all pan out in the NFL then I say for sure...
