Father's Day in the NFL: There have been 173 father-son duos in NFL history

There have been 173 father-son pairs and threesomes that have played in the NFL.

The list includes such names as DORSETT (Tony and Anthony); FARR (Mel, Sr.; Mel, Jr.; and Mike); HASSELBECK (Don, Matt and Tim); KRAMER (Jerry and Jordan); KLECKO (Joe and Dan); MANNING (Archie, Peyton and Eli); METCALF (Terry and Eric); SHULA (Don, Dave and Mike); and WINSLOW (Kellen, Sr. and Kellen, Jr.).

For one NFL rookie, he will follow the NFL path of not only his father, but also his grandfather.

Linebacker CLAY MATTHEWS, a first-round selection of the Green Bay Packers this year out of Southern California, is the son of former Cleveland and Atlanta linebacker CLAY MATTHEWS, JR. and grandson of CLAY MATTHEWS, SR., a two-way lineman with San Francisco in the early 1950s.

When Clay takes the field for the first time on Kickoff Sunday September 13, the Matthewses will become only the second family with three generations of NFL players, joining the PYNE family (GEORGE PYNE, JR., GEORGE PYNE, III and JIM PYNE).

Seven other rookies can join the NFL fathers-sons list this year:

• Buffalo safety JAIRUS BYRD, son of former San Diego cornerback GILL, SR.;
• Dallas kicker DAVID BUEHLER, son of former Oakland and Cleveland guard GEORGE;
• Cincinnati tight end CHASE COFFMAN, son of former Green Bay and Kansas City tight end PAUL;
• Seattle linebacker AARON CURRY, son of former Detroit and Baltimore Colts defensive back REGGIE PINKNEY;
• Kansas City defensive back LONDEN FRYAR, son of former New England, Miami, Philadelphia and Washington wide receiver IRVING;
• Chicago defensive tackle JARRON GILBERT, son of former New Orleans offensive tackle DAREN
• Cleveland wide receiver BRIAN ROBISKIE, son of former Oakland and Miami running back TERRY, who is currently the wide receivers coach for Atlanta.
