Cool Friday Fun: NFL Connections
Simple little concept, but it might be entertaining for awhile.

The idea is to take an NFL player and find the shortest number of connections to another NFL player by using a chain of one or more college or pro teammates.

For example, if we are connecting Ray Lewis and John Elway, we can do that with one connection: Shannon Sharpe (who was a teammate for both with the Broncos and Ravens).

Kapeche?

So, in reality, we are using college/pro teammates? Right?

Correct.

I've modified the confusing description to better reflect that.

Nice. Now pick a more challenging pair of players. They don't have to be active ones.
