I hate when people say the younger sibling of one of the nations top players will be better than them. If I had to guess, this happens less than 10% of the time. The Berry twins will never match Eric. Case McCoy will never be better than Colt. Jaxon Shipley will never be better than Jprdan. Those are just some off the top of my head. It puts so much pressure on the younger sibling and it probably won't happen, so people need to stop saying these things.

We have Patrick Peterson's little brother, but I don't think anyone has said Avery >>> Patrick.

Could be wrong. He will be a redshirt freshman next year. Reports wee he Looked great in fall before tearing his ACL.

I hear ya Engineer. For me, it's just a special story that he's playing at all. I don't know that many have said that in actuality, right now, he is better than DGB. What I always heard was that he had always been the better athlete growing up and then got hit with the cancer. I don't think there's any way he's better than DGB but just a remarkable story that he's playing football and will get the opportunity in college to play.

Like Shamier Jeffery was gonna be better than Alshon ... yeah, we can relate but honestly, we knew it wasn't going to happen coming-in.

Hey, Mizzou fans gotta dream ...
