So, who precisely are the Melton brothers? Many NFL fans are looking for information about the relations between WR Bo Melton and CB Max Melton. The reason for this sudden interest in these players is because of a new video of a couple wearing a cross-t-shirt with the Packers and Cardinals to support both Meltons. But who is this couple, and what is their relationship to the Meltons? Are the two players even related in the first place?
Well, some of you would have assumed already that the couple are the parents of both players. If you did, then you are right, and this is the most amazing aspect of this video. For those who still did not understand, Bo and Max actually are brothers by blood. The Melton family was very supportive of their kids to make a football career. Because of this and their hard work, both of them made it to the NFL. Now, in today’s game, they will square off against one another, and their parents will be rooting for them. Obviously, they would not support only one of their children, which is why they donned bespoke apparel in which both teams’ jerseys were joined to form one.

If we look at the brothers’ numbers for this season, Bo Melton still has to show himself. In five games, the WR has only caught two receptions, both combined for 40 yards. It is widely acknowledged that he has far greater potential than this, and he is yet to find his rhythm this year. On the other hand, Max Melton has proven his value by becoming unstoppable. In five games, the guy has made 11 key tackles, which have helped his team maintain a good defensive position.

Aside from these statistics, let’s see if the brothers ever faced each other before.
Is this the first time Bo and Max Melton are facing each other?
The answer to this question will be a huge yes. Actually, we know that the WR has played a few seasons prior to this year, but the CB is still a rookie. They have both made the ideal NFL sibling dream a reality, with one offensive brother facing off against one defensive brother.

What’s your perspective on:
Would you wear a split jersey to support both your kids if they played for rival teams?
Have an interesting take?
The expectation is strong, as both teams rely heavily on their respective Melton to perform well. Both teams lost their Week 4 games and, after winning and gaining momentum in Week 5, are seeking to dominate on the field today. The Cardinals and Packers have a lengthy history, having played 76 games against each other. The Packers won 46 of these games, while the Cardinals won 30 of them. It will be interesting to see which Melton is going to be standing tall at the end of the day.
