Big, Athletic Family
Joe Flacco is one of six kids, and the group is rather athletic.
His younger brother, Mike, spent time in the Baltimore Orioles organization. After playing football at the University of New Haven, he had short stints with the Chargers and Jaguars before trying out with the Jets. The Ravens gave him the opportunity of trying out, too, but it didn’t come to fruition.
Another brother John, walked onto the Stanford University Football team as a defensive back, while Brian was a wrestler. Flacco’s only sister Stephanie, was a standout field hockey and basketball player in high school. Flacco’s youngest brother, Tom, played quarterback for three different schools at Western Michigan University, Rutgers and Towson.
