Twins in sports include Barbers, Cansecos, Lundqvists and more

Some players know each other like the back of their hand. They have faced each other so many times that they recognize each other's tendencies, strengths and weaknesses. But some players have a connection that's on a whole other level.

This is the case with NFL players Chase Brown and Sydney Brown.

The two not only know each other, they also grew up together. They were born together. They are identical twins.

The two brothers were born two minutes apart in London, Ontario on March 21, 2000. They played in pee leagues together and later became football stars together for the Illinois Fighting Illini.

Their paths continued to intertwine with the NFL as both were drafted in 2023. Sydney, a safety, was selected in the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles, while Chase, a running back, was selected two rounds later by the Cincinnati Bengals.

As the pair prepares to compete on opposite sides of the ball, here is a list of other twins who have made their mark in professional sports:
