The New England Patriots are not only the most successful pro football organization of the 21st century, they could also be described as the NFL’s quintessential family operation: from Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan owning the franchise to head coach Bill Belichick employing his sons Steve and Brian as assistants, the Patriots have never shied away from bringing relatives into the club. And the family connections do not stop there.
Tight end Rob Gronkowski played alongside his brothers Dan and Glenn in 2011 and 2016, respectively. Brock Vereen was brought on board a few weeks after his brother Shane had left the team via free agency.
