ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Marvin Harrison Jr., Joe Alt, Kris Jenkins, Jonah Ellis and Luke McCaffrey have turned the NFL draft into a family affair.
The sons of former pro football stars, they’ve followed their fathers’ formidable footsteps into the league.
Elliss was selected by the Denver Broncos in the third round Friday night. His father, Luther Ellis, was once the NFL’s highest-paid defensive tackle while playing for Detroit for nine seasons. He played one final season with Denver in 2004. In 2015, Luther served as team chaplain for the Broncos in their last Super Bowl season.
“Actually, I don’t remember too many of his highlights, but I do remember when we moved out to Colorado,” Jonah Elliss said. “I spent a year there. It was really awesome just to see my dad start to get back into football, even though he was just the chaplain at the time. So, it was awesome seeing him do that. And I’m really excited to come down there where he was.”
