\"\"There’s no doubt that the Kansas City Chiefs got themselves a great one in the first round last night when they snapped up Tennessee safety Eric Berry.\u00a0\u00a0 Berry’s athleticism and skill have been well documented in the myriad of draft analysis that has taken place already.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 there is something that may not be known to many about this first rounder. He\u00a0 has two younger brothers that appear headed to putting their feet in big brother’s shoes and popping right out the front of them.<\/p>\n

Gridironstuds.com<\/a> was one of the first to report last June how the University of Tennessee,\u00a0 being led then by Lane Kiffin,\u00a0 obtained a commitment from 13 year old Evan Berry,\u00a0 younger brother of Eric Berry.\u00a0\u00a0 You can read that article here<\/a>.\u00a0 Evan also has a slightly older brother named Elliott Berry who is equally as talented.\u00a0\u00a0 Both players are stand out track performers in the sprints with several records to their credit.\u00a0 By all indications,\u00a0 they are ahead of where older brother Eric was at their age.<\/p>\n

On the football field,\u00a0 both brothers have been dominant as well.\u00a0 Of course,\u00a0 it’s 2010 so there is video available to prove this point.\u00a0 The Berry brothers play for the Faiburn Flames and they are one of the top youth football teams in Georgia.\u00a0 There’s video available of them playing together on that team taking on the #1 team in their area Central DeKalb.\u00a0 It’s one of the more entertaining videos you will ever watch of a youth football game.\u00a0 Thanks to BorntoCompete.com<\/em><\/a> for filming and editing the contest.\u00a0 Check out the video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Evan was named the BorntoCompete.com’s 14 and under Player of the Year and there’s a highlight video showing his exploits on the field as a member of the Fairburn Flames.\u00a0 View that video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Berry’s have an outstanding blood line.\u00a0 Their father James Berry was the captain of the 1981 Tennessee Volunteers football team and was a three year starter in Knoxville.\u00a0 This family is truly blessed.\u00a0 NFL franchises be on the lookout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
