All these years I thought they were brothers. I just watched some of the 1982 Rams vs Raiders game and the announcer said Jim Youngblood from Tennessee Tech, not related to Jack Youngblood.

Well how do you do! You can learn something every day.

Yep, I thought that when I was young too...The only brothers on the Rams at the same time was Phil and Merlin Olsen.

I remember my dad telling me they weren't related. I thought he was kidding at first.

Side note: I just found out that Charles White and Betty White were not related. :whistle:

When you mentioned the Olsens, I first thought of the McKeevers, Mike and Marlin, twins. But they didn't play for the Rams together. Marlin was drafted by the Rams but Mike was injured in his senior year and that ended his football career. They both played for USC and were the first twins to earn All American status/
