Rypien to Start for Rams, Continuing Family Legacy
Quarterback to Make NFL Debut Against Packers
Connections to Super Bowl MVP Uncle
Brett Rypien, the nephew of former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien, will make his first career NFL start in Week 9 for the Los Angeles Rams against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Broncos QB's Family Ties
Mark Rypien, who won Super Bowl MVP as quarterback for the Washington Redskins in 1992, has been tracking his nephew's progress as a record-breaking quarterback at Shadle Park High School in Spokane. Brett is also a cousin to former LFL quarterback Angela Rypien and a cousin-once-removed to the late quarterback.
As Brett prepares for his NFL debut, he will undoubtedly hear stories from his uncle about his own successful NFL career. With his family legacy in the sport, Brett has the foundation and inspiration to carve out his own path in the league.
