Romeo and Julian will be one of a handful of brother tandems playing together in the 2020 season, joining the McCourty brothers and others:

Keeping it in the family: we now have Julian and Romeo Okwara with the Lions, Jason and Devin McCourty with the Patriots, Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin with the Seahawks, and Trey and Terrell Edmunds with the Steelers.

Romeo, of course, played with the Giants from 2016-2017 before leaving Big Blue via free agency to join the Lions. Unlike Julian, Romeo went undrafted and made the best of his opportunity with Big Blue.
