The New England Patriots know all about the familiar bonds of football, as they've had players and coaches with fathers and grandfathers who were involved in the game and even those with brothers playing at the same.

New England's new starting center Ben Brown is the newest member of the team to join the list of Patriots who have football in their bloodlines.

Brown's grandfather, Allen, was a third-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 1965 out of Ole Miss where he was a Second-team All-American in 1963 and a First-team All-American in 1964.
