I'll give someone else a crack at answering this one... but it's fascinating how late the first QB went in that draft.

That is very odd. Give me another trivia question.

[simple simon]

Who was the 1st player ever drafted by the NFL ?

[Michigan Man]

That is easy. It was Jay Berwanger by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1936. And just for some more info he only asked for $25,000 for 2 years. A little different than today, huh.

Jay Berwanger was the top selection in the first-ever NFL draft (1936). Originally drafted by Philadelphia, his rights were sold to Bears coach George Halas. But his asking price of $25,000 for two seasons was too high, and he never signed a contract--instead taking a job as a foam-rubber salesman. He died of lung cancer in 2002.
