The Donna Kelce thread got me to thinking about which family has been the most successful in the NFL. Off the top of my head I came up with this list but I'm sure I'm mising some. Who did I miss and who do you think has been the most successful?

Manning - Archie, Peyton, Eli, and soon to be Arch
Bosa-Kumerow - John Bosa, Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa, Eric Kumerow, Jake Kumerow
Kelce- Travis, Jason
Barber - Ronde, Tiki
McCourtey-  Devin and Jason McCourty
Harbough - Jim and John Harbough
Mathews - Clay, Bruce and Clay Mathews Jr
Phillips Bum and Wade Phiiips
Griese Bob and Brian Griese
Ryan- Buddy, Rex and Rob Ryan

JJ Watt just retired, but he has two brother (TJ and Derek) that are still in the NFL.

Chris Long and his dad both won a Super Bowl (not many cases of that, I would wager). The brother, Kyle Long, played oline for the Bears for a good stretch.

Speaking of the Patriots... didn't Antonio Brown have a cousin or something who also played for the Pats?

His cousin is in the NFL but not Pats.

Really? That’s interesting as I didn’t know any of them did.

You could say that Howie and Chris had a LONG time of success in the NFL.

There are five father/son groups to win the SB.

Long
Griese
Ronnie Lott and Ryan Nece
Bruce Davis
Colquitt

I think JJ and TJ are the only relatives to win MVP/DPOY.

Peyton and Eli have 4 Super Bowl wins. 3 Super bowl MVPs, and 5 NFL MVPs. I think it starts with them.

I think Manning is the consensus most successful family.  

However, using the combined records of Manning - 4 SB, 3 SBMVP and 5 NFLMVP as a metric you might say the most successful "family" is actually the "Brady" with 7SB, 5 SBMVP and
 3 NFLMVP.

No Love for the McCaffreys?

Christian obviously, Dad Ed played many years for Denver and Uncle Max played in the NFL.  I think he has 2 other uncles who are/were coaches.

Not the best, but at least should be mentioned

I'll add a Miami entry with Glenn & Lyle Blackwood, part of the Killer Bees defense of the 80's.
