per Craig:
At 43, Senior is only 40 days older than Junior's quarterback, Tom Brady. One of Senior's 27 career picks came against Brady in his 11th career start in 2001.
"Senior was a great player, obviously — tough, competitive, a really good tackler for a corner," Zimmer said. "And his son really is very similar. Just playing different spots."
Junior said the biggest similarity he sees is the tackling instincts, and the willingness.
"We're both not the biggest guys, but we like to hit," Junior said. "I feel like it flows natural to both of us. He played and just naturally did it, and I feel like it's the same with me."
