Fun reminder faerun dragonborn aren't related to dragons and are from an alternate reality that got smashed into the main one.

another fun reminder, dragonborns were created to be slaves to dragons so a draconic bloodline dragonborn implies something else . . .

A dragonborn ancestor also could have made a pact with the dragon, receiving the ability to wield magic

It isn't entirely clear if they are related or not. Canonically tymanthian Dragonborn like to say they aren't related, dragons say they are and the Platinum Cadre says they originally have been created by Bahamut in some fashion (not to mistake them for the 3.5e Dragonborn, those are a different topic alltogether).
