Sorry, none of these are correct. Lou Groza was not drafted, he was a Free Agent. Manning as you are aware does play in the NFL...the answer to 10 never even played.....and you are not quite close enough on Archie's total for me to give it to you.

This has been up a week, so I will just finish it off.
1. You may all be aware that the Steelers drafted 4 Hall of Fame players in their 1974 draft...the most HOFers taken by any team in any one year. However, three other times the same team drafted 3 eventuall Hall of Famers in a single draft.

The thing though is not one of those players chose to play for the AFL Broncos...they played in the NFL
2. Since that 1974 Steeler draft, which team or teams, if any, has drafted as many as two eventual Hall of Famers in the same year?
Since the Steelers drafted those 4 not a single team has drafted more than one HOFer in a year.

(note: does not include any UDFAs that may have made it)

4. The Browns drafted Barkevious Mingo of LSU with the #6 overall pick in the draft. In draft history, three (3) other LSU players have been taken with the #6 overall pick. Name the three.

The Washington Redskins chose Cal Rossi with their first round pick in 1946....but....Rossi was still a junior and at that time was not eligible to be selected....so in doing so the Redskins wasted their 1946 first round pick.
Lo and behold, the 1947 draft came along and the Redskins chose.....Cal Rossi.
