Like Jake Long, Kyle Long plays football. Like Jake Long, Kyle Longâs position is on the offensive line. And like Jake Long, Kyle Longâs last name is Long. They are not, however, the same person.
Someone should probably tell the Cincinnati Bengals, because according to Kyle Long, they called him âJake Long the whole dayâ when he visited them before the 2013 NFL Draft.

Whoops. Just to be clear, Kyle, the son of Howie Long and the brother of Chris Long, isnât related to Jake -- the No. 1 overall pick in 2008. They just share the same name and passion for blocking 300-pound defenders.
Funnily enough, Long ended up getting picked (by the Bears) one spot before the Bengals were on the clock in the first round. So, the Bengals didnât even get the chance to draft him. They ended up with Tyler Eifert, though, so I doubt they mind.
The Bearsâ decision to make Long their first-round pick paid off. Heâs been to three Pro Bowls in four years, though heâs currently dealing with shoulder and ankle injuries.
