Police say the brother of a former Hawkeye and current NFL quarterback has been fatally stabbed along with another man in a fight outside a Nashville bar.

Nashville Police say 22-year-old Clayton Beathard and 21-year-old Paul Trapeni were stabbed to death early Saturday. Beathard was the brother of former Hawkeye starting quarterback C.J. Beathard, now with the San Francisco 49ers, and grandson of NFL Hall of Famer Bobby Beathard. Police say the bar fight began after the suspect groped a friend of Beathard and Trapeni’s.

Police say they are searching for suspects in the stabbings.
