I wouldn't call this duo most successful.

Dan McGuire was a 1st round bust, drafted ahead of Brett Favre.

He was 3rd string on the Seahawks behind Kelly Stouffer.

Had never heard this. Looked it up and apparently it's completely true. Pretty cool history fact right there.

You’re not wrong.

But being a first round pick is still an achievement and Mark was obviously a legend.

Steven Adams has carved out a nice career in the NBA. He has a sister that has won a couple of Olympic gold medals and multiple world championships for New Zealand in shot put.

Bill Walton and his older brother Bruce are the only brother combination to ever play in the Super Bowl and in the NBA finals.

Can you imagine breaking the 200 meter record & losing to Jesse Owens, unable to make a career from Track & Field at the time( not even Owens could do it) & your little brother becomes a Baseball Sports & Civil Rights icon?


Poor Mack Sounds like he had a good & productive life though.

On a collegiate level:

Luke Maye led UNC to a basketball championship.

His brother Drake Maye is going to lead UNC to a football championship.
