Palmer Brothers ? Who Knew ?

Everyone knows about Ty and Koy on our birds but i had no clue about the palmers brothers ... thought you guys might get a little kick out of this ... (scouting my fantasy players is how i stumbled upon this)

Bengals Bio

Dd2fe4dcc84d4e9e966a69f75b49ff8f_medium

Position Quarterback
Height 6-5
Weight 232
Birthdate 5/30/1984
College Texas-El Paso
Hometown Mission Viejo, CA
Acquired FA '08
Experience 1
 

Record-setting passer at Texas-El Paso, Palmer signed as free agent on 1-30-08 ... Younger brother of Bengals QB Carson Palmer ... Was with Washington in 2007 preseason, after being selected in sixth round of '07 draft by Redskins ... Designated a first-year NFL player in 2008.

2007 RECAP: Drafted by Washington in sixth round (205th overall) ... With Redskins for the entire preseason, but played only in preseason finale on Aug. 30 at Jacksonville, passing two-for-eight for 10 yards with no TDs and one INT ... Waived on Sept. 1.

BROTHER ACTS: The Elias Sports Bureau reports that if Jordan and Carson Palmer are both active with the Bengals in the 2008 regular season, they will officially become the first brother QB tandem on the same NFL team in the Super Bowl era. Though brothers Ty and Koy Detmer were both with Philadelphia in the 1997 regular season, Koy was not on the active roster due to an injury ... Jordan and Carson Palmer can become the third brother tandem (regardless of position) to be on the Bengals active roster in the same regular season. The Bengals careers of RB Archie Griffin and CB Ray Griffin overlapped from 1978-83, while DE Ross Browner and S Jim Browner were both with the Bengals in 1979 and '80.

Funny

surprised that didn’t get more hype in the media (unless it did and I just missed it).

I guess it’s not much of a story until they’re on the same team. (I know there was at least one article about the Redskins’ Byron Westbrook last year)
