Brothers Palmer look to make history in Cincy

They're the same height and almost the same weight. They have many of the same facial features. They use some of the same expressions. They play the same position.

And, for the first time, Carson and Jordan Palmer play on the same NFL team.

Carson stood on the sideline in shorts and watched his younger brother run plays during a weekend rookie camp at Paul Brown Stadium, a moment that was special for both of them. Jordan, who is 23, got to run some of the plays that his 28-year-old brother has mastered.

"It's great," Carson said, using one of their common expressions. "It's been so much fun. He's been living in our basement. We never had the chance to be on the same team because of our age difference. It's fun to be on the same team."

It goes deeper, of course.

When the Bengals signed Jordan on Jan. 30, giving him a chance to compete for the No. 3 quarterback job, two brothers who are closer than their age got a chance to do something they always wanted to do.

"It's exciting to have not only your best friend but your brother [here]," Carson said.

It's also a little eerie.
