To be fair, that was our first.
Baylor, Tech, Rice, and TCU have all had them as well.

Baylor has NOT had a #1 overall, but Tech, Rice and TCU have. One other Texas school has had one.
(RGII at #2 is highest Baylor draft pick)

Second Chance Saloon. Unanswered Questions.

2. Where does "White Tarkenton" rank on the all time PFR Career Production list? (hint...the next question was a clue)

No. Elkins was only a #2 overall pick....of the AFL draft. Joe Namath was #1. In the NFL draft that year, Tucker Frederickson was #1 overall. Elkins was #10 overall. So, no on that.
But SMU is the right answer otherwise.

Interesting. Guess this site is wrong.

Yea, I think it is. Everywhere else I looked had Joe Namath as #1 overall pick...including my own memory of the situation. I was 13...but I remember the signing of Namath by the AFL as a big, big deal.

Big x big, Namath was one of the best ever but bad knees followed him from college.
Remember too the SB champs got beat in Cleveland on MNF GAME #1.

After 10 days in New England....with all the Patriot pole smokers. Though....at the resort I stayed at in Rhode Island I struck up a conversation with the custodian there about football. He was a Jets fan. And of course he hated the Patriots. But one part of the conversation I could not abide: He said I should be all for the Pittsburgh Steelers because they were the only team that could take out the Patriots. I would have liked to dunk his head in the hot tub. I told him I will take the Patriots winning 10 more Super Bowls in a row rather than have the Steelers win one. Oh well, each to his own.
Nevertheless....Oh, I didn't mention: this is a Trivia thread. Mostly about #1 overall draft picks, plus a couple of others. Here you go..starting with a question for Woody:
1. What uniform number has been worn by more Hall of Fame players than any other?

8. Which #1 overall pick was chosen for the most First team All Pro teams? Hint: not a QB
9. Which 2 #1 overall picks never played in a professional football regular season game?

10. What is the only Ivy League school to have a player chosen with the #1 overall pick. Name school and player.
11. Name all the schools in Texas that have had a player chosen with the #1 overall draft pick.
