Does Dylan Raiola's tribute to his brother Dayton show the true power of family in sports?

Fans are going gaga over him, given his skills. Some even call him the next Mahomes. The 6-3 230-pound quarterback seeks motivation from his dad, Dominic Raiola, a football star back in his day playing for the University of Nebraska, followed by his NFL career. The strong bond in the family was displayed when Dylan recently shared a birthday message for his younger brother.
