10 Athletes Who Have Hilarious Family Members

Danny Willett won the 2016 Masters Tournament, but the true star of the tournament was his brother.

P.J. Willett's Twitter feed was the picture of pure comedy during the final round, entertaining golf fans everywhere. Check out these other sports family members who have proven to be quite funny—there are parents, grandparents, siblings and even children. 

After all, who doesn't love a little comedic relief now and then?

Rob Gronkowski

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is the NFL's resident party boy and goofball: 

But his family appears to be pretty funny, too. His dad, Gordon Gronkowski, once told Bruce Weber of Vanity Fair Rob chose to attend the University of Arizona for the pool parties. (TBH, that's probably true.)

Gronk and his brothers have also displayed their comedic chops in various commercials:

Phil Kessel

Phil Kessel just won a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and, as is custom, he got to spend some time with the trophy. Notably, Kessel's grandmother sipped champagne right from the Lord Stanley's Cup—a feat both hilarious and awesome:

Derek Carr 

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has an older brother, David Carr, who also played in the NFL. David is retired from pro football, but he stole the spotlight recently during a hilarious "sibling rivalry" commercial for EECU. Listen, anytime the word "guyliner" is involved, it's generally funny stuff:

Eli Apple 

Even before her son Eli was drafted by the New York Giants, Annie Apple was making jokes at his expense.

Leading up to the April draft, Annie informed Sports Illustrated readers her son would not be wearing a Rolex to the draft because he was "an unemployed college dropout."

Annie also has a bold Twitter game:

Look at this pop culture zinger!

J.R. Smith

Athlete kids have proven to be funny, too. For example, J.R. Smith's daughter praised him for not "getting kicked off the team" ahead of an NBA Finals game: 

Smith sure thought it was funny: 

Alex Rodriguez

In another example of cute kid comedy, New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez shared a homework assignment completed by his daughter:   

"

Ella's Parents Day assignment! ❤️ it honey. Daddy isn't 43 yet but by then, I promise I'll know how to cut an . pic.twitter.com/mFJy2oj4pV

A-Rod's daughter Ella roasted her dad's cooking skills (and probably unintentionally, his age). Kids say the darndest things, right? 

The Mannings

Retired Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is one of the funniest athletes of all time. His hilarious commercials became legendary over the course of his NFL career. Here he is—with older brother Cooper—roasting Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips: 

Peyton's younger brother, New York Giants QB Eli Manning, is quite funny himself. He was delightful in this ESPYs spoof making fun of Peyton: 

Christian McCaffrey

Christian McCaffrey is a standout running back at Stanford, but he's not the only football talent in the family. When Christian's older brother Max McCaffrey signed with the Oakland Raiders, the boys' father Ed—a former member of the rival Denver Broncos—shared his sadness on Twitter: 

Martellus and Michael Bennett

New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett is a funny guy. He once told a story about his childhood karate skills on ESPN's Highly Questionable that had Bomani Jones absolutely rolling: 

His brother, Michael, is no slouch either.

The Seattle Seahawks defensive end brought the house down during Super Bowl media day in 2015. Here he is on his football superstitions:   

And Michael also has a wicked Russell Wilson impression: 

Danny Willett

Danny Willett won the Masters in April, but his brother stole the show. P.J. Willett's Twitter feed was the place to be during the final round: 

And then, the celebration:

Never change, P.J. Willett.
