INDIANAPOLIS – Cardinals running back Elijhaa Penny shared a video on his Twitter account last month of a foot-race against his younger brother, Rashaad.
In the four-second clip, a group gathers as the Pennys streak down an asphalt street, with Rashaad eventually pulling away to claim victory.
The recording ended when the race did, which means it missed the real fun: the ensuing debate about whom, exactly, deserves credit for the teeming athleticism of the Penny brothers.
“We all sit around and jibber jabber,” Robert Penny, father of Elijhaa and Rashaad, said with a laugh.
“Every family function we have, we get these uncles that are like, ‘You get it from us,’” Elijhaa said.
