Christian and Luke McCaffrey are the first pair of brothers to simultaneously rank in the Top 15 for All-Purpose Yards in a single season since Walter Payton and Eddie Payton in 1980

CMC is currently 2nd in the league with 981 APY, Luke is just behind him at 5th with 892

To my knowledge and research into PFR, the most recent example of a pair of brothers on that level is 1980 Walter Payton (who was 4th with 1,827 All-Purpose Yards) and Eddie Payton (who was 11th with 1,450 All-Purpose Yards)

Other great All-Purpose fraternal duos are

• 1994 Sterling and Shannon Sharpe (46th and 63rd Respectively)
• 1999 Rocket and Qadry Ismail (43rd and 52nd Respectively)
• 2006 Thomas and Julius Jones (36th and 50th Respectively)

I’m like 80% in the veracity of this research but, aside from CMC and LMC, I didn’t go fully in depth with the week-by-week game logs for each sibling pair. Only the season-end totals. So there may be some undiscovered pairs there. But I don’t think there’s another Top 15 duo like I proposed in the title
