Relatives that played in the NFL

Just wanted to see if any forum member is related to a former or current NFL player. I also wanted to share my connection and maybe take a break from this mayhem called the offseason.

My Great Uncle J.D. Smith (OT) played for the Eagles (don't hate him) & Lions back in the 60's. He won the 1960 Championship and Offensive Rookie of the Year. His team was the only team to beat Lombardi's Packers in the Playoffs. He played on the same team as Sonny Jurgensen, Norm Van Brocklin & Chuck Bednarik. His career didn't last long after he suffered a broken leg.

It was amazing to hear his stories of his wars on the line. It was also nice to see him honored during the Packers-Eagles game (2010) at halftime.
