Has there ever in the history of the NFL had a team with a starting QB and either a starting/semi-starting WR or TE with the SAME last name on the same team as we have now with Tom and Kyle?

I could not find anywhere in the history of the league where this ever happened.

Are we the first?

You would think somewhere in NFL history before this year that a starting QB and his starting wideouts would have the same last name,I can't recall any though .

I hate to burst your bubble, but there was also a QB named Bert Jones and one named Doug Williams.

I wish there was some money in this.

That reminds me -- it's hard to imagine a more English/Anglo-Saxon collection of last names than the Pats' recent picks:

Johnson
Jackson
Wilson
Hill
Light
Branch

And Hobbs was an honorary 2nd-round pick IMO.

One has to go all the way back to Klemm for an exception.

That's not as strictly true in the other rounds, I think, which have at least occasionally featured names such as Graham (Scottish), Maroney (I presume Irish), Kaczur, Klecko, O'Callaghan, and so on.

HOW those black dudes wound up with English, Scottish, and Irish last names is an easy exercise left to the reader.

Asked that of a black man and he told me that was his ancestors owners name that they were given in the US as slaves.

Um, Hello? Jim and Freddy Plunkett. Joe and Ted Montana. Johnny and Greg Unitas. There's three off the top of my head. In fact, I made them up off the top of my head.

You do realize that Ted's Montana Grill is a chain restaurant right? Or is it total co-incidence?

Yeah, I hope that was a joke, because it's Ted Turner's Montana Grill.
