Mike Flacco, Joe's brother, wants to try out for the NFL as a tight end...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...-bowl/1872691/

26 years old.
6'5" 245lbs.

7.62 cone drill.
Supposedly he ran a 30 yard dash in just under 4 seconds while with the Orioles farm teams...so that could roughly translate into the 4.5-4.7 range for the 40 yard dash.

He has been working out at the NFL TEST facility in New Jersey.

It's a long shot, but it would be cool to see the guy get some opportunities.

I never realized until this week that he had a second brother that they're saying is early Div I material. It would be sweet to have a Flacco v. Flacco matchup in about 5 years.

Yea, his younger brother is a Senior in high school. He isn't as big as Joe or Mike, but he's still about 6'2" 190lbs or so.

Watched Mike at a few Shorebird games down here on the shore.
Took a picture of Manny knocking one out that went over top the scoreboard.
Mike's name just happened to be up there when I took a pic of the scoreboard to show where it went. :)
