R' Rafael Shapiro once said to the Netziv:
My son-in-law is a better learner then your son-in-law.

Lets get the story straight
R' Rafael Shapiro(the toras refael)who was the son in law to the netziv and father in law to Rav Chaim once said to the Netziv:
My son-in-law is a better learner then your son-in-law

Is it considered arrogant to speak well of one's sons or sons-in-law?

I was told (by the one who heard it) that Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt"l, said of his son, yblch"t, Rav David, shlit"a: "Dovid has a besser kup fun mir."

R' Moshe Soloveitchik said he was zocheh to have a father who was greater then him, as well as a son who was greater then him.
