A Family Affair
The 2008 Combine features several players who look to join famous family members with long NFL careers. Virginia defensive end Chris Long, who will likely go in the top five and is vying to be the first overall selection in April’s draft, is the son of Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long.
Others in Indianapolis this weekend with famous fathers and/or siblings include Florida wide receiver Andre “Bubba” Caldwell, the younger brother of former Charger and current Redskin Reche Caldwell; Texans safety Marcus Griffin, the twin brother of Titans safety Michael Griffin; Missouri tight end Martin Rucker, younger brother of Panthers defensive end Mike Rucker; and Minnesota defensive back Dominique Barber, son of former Jets running back Marion Barber, Jr. and brother of current Cowboys running back Marion Barber, III.
On Sunday, Chargers.com will catch up with Dominique Rogers-Cromartie, a cornerback from Tennessee State who is one of the top prospects in the draft. He’s also the cousin of a pretty good NFL player who plays the same position, Bolts cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
