Okay, so I was digging around the internet the other day, as one does, and I stumbled upon something pretty cool – the Fuller brothers in the NFL. I mean, how often do you see a bunch of siblings all making it big in the same professional sport? It got me thinking, and I decided to do a little project on them.
I started with the oldest, Vincent. This guy’s the trailblazer of the family. I found out he’s 37 now, retired, and working at some law firm in D.C. – quite the career change! But back in the day, he was a cornerback for the Titans, Lions, and Patriots. I watched some old footage of his games. Man, he was quick on his feet! I was trying to find out more about his parents too, so far I have only found out that his dad’s name was Vincent Fuller Sr, and he has a half-brother, Vincent Fuller Jr. There’s more about this family that I really want to know.
- First step: Look up Vincent Fuller’s career stats and highlights.
- Next: Find out more about his transition from the NFL to law.
Then there’s Corey. I didn’t know much about him at first, but I dug around and found some interesting stuff. It seems like he’s made quite a name for himself too. I spent hours just reading articles and watching interviews with him. It’s crazy how different brothers can be, yet they all ended up in the NFL.
- Dive into Corey Fuller’s career.
- Compare his playing style to Vincent’s.
And it’s not just these two. I found out there were actually a bunch of brothers playing in the NFL last season. Like, did you know there were 21 pairs of siblings? And get this – twelve of them are Pro-Bowlers! We’re talking about big names like the Kelces, the Bosas, and the Diggs. These guys have multiple Pro Bowls under their belts. I made a list of all the sibling pairs in the NFL last season. It’s wild!
Then I read this story about another set of brothers, Devin and Jordan Fuller. Apparently, Jordan was super competitive, even back in the day. Devin shared this one story where Jordan was crying because he felt like no one else was trying as hard as him in practice. It just shows the kind of passion these guys have.
And just when I thought I had seen it all, I found out about the Steelers. Last year, they had four pairs of brothers on their roster after drafting Connor Heyward, Cameron Heyward’s younger brother. That included T.J. and Derek Watt. Can you imagine the family dinners?
My Project Plan
- Phase 1: Gather all the information I can on each of the Fuller brothers.
- Phase 2: Watch game footage, interviews, and read any articles I can find.
- Phase 3: Compile everything into a detailed timeline of their careers.
- Phase 4: Maybe even try to reach out to them for a little interview? Who knows!
I spent a whole weekend just immersed in this project. It’s fascinating to see how these siblings all supported each other and pushed each other to be better. It’s like, they had their own little competition going on, but in a good way. It’s not just about football; it’s about family, you know? I even started making a little documentary-style video about them. It’s pretty rough right now, but I think it’s got potential.
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. It’s been a fun ride, learning about the Fuller brothers and all these other sibling pairs in the NFL. Makes you think about the role of family in success, doesn’t it?
