Would you rate the Achos as the best players as brothers at Texas? I think the Shipleys will eventually surpass them. I am sure there are others like the Talberts but I cannot think of any others at this time.

I'd rate the Acho's at about the same level as the Cash (Keith and Kerry) brothers.
You also have a number of others. Some guys will have better recollections than me.

Man, I sure hope he comes back next year. For some reason I still think he comes back.

I thought Acho was a Senior this season...

Agreed. The 1960's Campbell brothers, Tom and Mike, weren't bad either.

Earl, Tim and Steve Campbell and it's not even close. The Talberts should be mentioned IMO.
It's like that old baseball trivia question about which set of brothers hit the most homers - The Aaron brothers.

Y'all are all forgetting another set of brothers. One is a long-term NFL starter, the other is just making his mark after staring for most of his Freshman campaign:
Quentin Jammer, Quandre Diggs
Those who can, do; those who can't, coach; those who never could, complain about the first two.

Sad but true. Marcus was a starter on the worst pass defense in school history. Probably the only Akina secondary not to produce a single NFL player of note.

Not bad.
BTW - from reading a few player tweets, it sounds like the young DBs have gone over to Jammer's house.

Bobby,
I'm not sure what you are referencing regarding the tweet being interesting. Does he have another year of eligibility? I thought he has played for 4 years.
Thanks
