Although he was just drafted, the Bills rookie linebacker is no stranger to the NFL. Growing up in Danville, Virginia, with former NFL Pro Bowler Ferrell Edmunds as a father, Tremaine and his two brothers, Trey and Terrell, have always had a keen understanding of what it takes to make it at a professional level. With guidance from Ferrell, who spent seven years as a tight end for the Dolphins and Seahawks, and their mother Cookie, the Edmunds boys have taken steps to solidify their own legacies.  

As depicted in NBC Sports Washington's four-part miniseries "E-Boyz," the close-knit family has always leaned upon one another for support and friendly competition. Growing up, Trey, Tremaine and Terrell, were all extremely talented athletes and used each other's success as fuel. With all three brothers now in the NFL, it's evident that their upbringing helped shape them into who they are today.

To go behind-the-scenes with the Edmunds family and to learn more about their unique story, watch the miniseries here.

2. Thurman Thomas: Hall of Famer turned prankster

While best known for his impressive football skills, Thurman Thomas recently showed fans a different side of himself. During a recent trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Thomas took a page out of Ashton Kutcher's "Punked" playbook and proved he can be quite the prankster.

Disguising himself as a museum volunteer named "John Kelly," for an episode of "Undercover Bust," Thomas greeted guests visiting the famous attraction. While showing them around, Thomas asked them questions before revealing his identity in front of his enshrinement.

3 .Yarbrough's fishing frenzy

Bills defensive end Eddie Yarbrough is a man of many talents. From his work on the football field, to playing the ukulele, Yarbrough makes time to make sure he is well-rounded. After taking a trip to Arkansas, it was clear that the second-year Bill has another hobby to add to his list – fishing.

"I've been fishing since I was born and [I have] a huge family," he said. "Everybody comes out and it's a ton of fun."
