Jackson and Cody Barton played together as Utah seniors. The dual launch of their NFL careers is next.

As a mother of four children who have played a variety of sports, Mikki Barton has attended several hundred events in all kinds of venues. What's missing from her list? An NFL game.

Barton has saved her first pro football experience for a game involving one of her sons, and she's hoping for multiple opportunities in 2019.

Utah's Barton brothers won't match the 2018 achievement of Virginia's Tremaine and Terrell Edmunds, the first brothers ever picked in the first round of the same NFL draft. Even so, Cody and Jackson Barton will have their chances to make NFL teams.
