Bo and Max Melton turned NFL dreams into reality 

Football is a way of life for the Meltons but never in any of their wildest dreams could they have envisioned two members of their tight-knit family playing at the game's highest level.

In April, however, the surreal became real when the Arizona Cardinals selected Max in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Bo and Gary Jr. were by his side, 727 days after the brothers celebrated Bo's seventh-round selection following an emotional three-day wait in 2022.

This Sunday, for the first time, the Meltons will be pitted against each other in an actual game when the Packers host the Cardinals in a Week 6 matchup family and friends have had circled since schedule-release day.

Among the two dozen or so expected in attendance are Gary Melton Sr. and his wife Vicky, their proud parents who made customized jerseys binding Bo's No. 80 for the Packers with Max's No. 16 for the Cardinals.

"To see that relationship, even to today, it still brings tears to my eyes," Gary Sr. said. "I watched them play together. I watched them talk to each other. It's not a surprise to us that Max gravitated towards Bo because they were close in age but also, he wanted to compete with Bo. He knew that was going to make him better and look what happened."



Bo knows receiving. Bo knows his brother. Does Bo know how to beat his brother at the NFL level?

I would think this is a no-win situation for both of them...but then again, they have both already won, making an NFL roster.

I just hope Max gets burnt by someone other than Bo.
Go Packers!!!!

I don't know how their teams graded their players yesterday but they both looked pretty good most of the time. Bo beat his little brother deep at least once but Jordan didn't get him the ball.
