Which bloodlines will produce the better player?
 

Will it be Mike Pouncey,Casey Matthews or another player who has family inherited skills that I am not aware of?

Would you also take a chance that the bloodlines will prove worthy and maybe draft one of these guys?

Slater has not even an inkling of his father's skills as a pro regardless of the difference in position,if we take one of these guys maybe it could result for the better.

players don't inherit skills through their bloodlines. they might inherit athletic ability, but skills are learned abilities.

I hear Jimmy the Greek has some theories on this.

Families like the Mannings,Gronkowskis and Hasslebecks for example say there is something special about bloodlines that not many athletes in families have.

Do you realize how hard it is to get to the pros,let alone 3 members of your family?...it takes agility AND a little help from those around you.

Getting to the draft itself is huge odds...3+ NFL players from a family indicates there is a little more to it than your observations.

While all members of a particular athletic family might not be a HOFer,there is still the difficulty of getting to the NFL.

None of the "bloodline" guys strike me as players that I want. Pouncey, unlike his brother, is not a center and never will be. Matthews needs to get the same "help" as his brother if he ever wants to be anything more than a special teamer. Jordan and Heyward's fathers played in the NFL, but both still have big question marks.

I do like Stefan Wisniewski, but that's more about him being an underrated player than his father and uncle playing in the NFL.
