Safety Terrell Edmunds and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds of Virginia Tech were drafted Thursday night, marking the first time brothers have been taken in the first round of the same draft.
The feat, confirmed by Elias, came to fruition with Terrell's selection by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 28th pick. Earlier in the evening, Tremaine was taken with the 16th pick by the Buffalo Bills, who traded up with the Baltimore Ravens to get him.
Terrell Edmunds' father, Ferrell, was selected in the third round of the 1988 draft by the Miami Dolphins.
