<![CDATA[Name That Draft Bust]]>Here is a set of Trivia called: Name that Draft Bust. I will give a brief description of a player taken fairly high in the NFL draft....that was a bust....you name him. There are a few Browns players in here...but hint: JFF, Gilbert, Mingo are not the answers to any questions:

1. 1st ever Heisman winner, 1st ever #1 overall draft pick. Never played a down in Pro Football.

2. #1 Overall pick in the draft. QB. Only threw 30 NFL passes. Stuttering problems caused him to be unable to call plays.

3. #2 overall pick. QB. Many thought he might go #1. Played 25 games. Currently in prison.

4. #1 overall pick of the Rams. QB. Started one career game.

5. #1 overall pick. Defensive End. Injuries shortened his career. Lived up to only half of his nickname.

6. #1 overall pick of an expansion team. QB. Was never given an offensive line to protect him. 23-56 career record as starter.

7. #1 overall pick of an expansion team. QB. Was never given an offensive line to protect him 22-37 career record as starter.

8. #1 overall pick in the draft. Running back that gained only 1144 career yards. Injuries stopped his career.

9. #1 overall pick in the draft. QB. Played 3 seasons. Got fat and lazy. 7-18 record as a starter.

10. #2 overall pick. WR. Played just 15 games. Drugs derailed him.

11. #6 overall pick....of big city team. Defensive End. Recorded -0- career sacks.

12. #3 overall pick. QB. Played 4 seasons but only had 5 TD passes and 1 win as starter. He was an asshole.

13. #7 overall pick. QB from pass happy college program (which produced another major bust at QB that is not part of this quiz). started just 6 games.

14. #6 overall pick. RB. His criminal career was more productive than his NFL career.

15. #4 overall pick. QB. Same could be said about him as said above. 91 of 202 in his career with 3 TDs.

16. QB taken in the first round of same draft that produced 3 HOF QBs.....6 overall HOF players. He though was the runt of the litter....starting only 29 career games. From Ohio.

18. LB taken #5 overall. Started just 7 games.

19. Linebacker taken #21 overall. Started just one game.

Closed with a string of Browns... I shoulda known...

But, Mud, you stepped closer to the trap than I was willing to...

Well done...

The unfortunate thing is that string of Browns could easily have been a lot longer. I didn't do the Willis Adams, Steve Holdens, etc.

As an interesting side note, wasn't Ernie Davis the first black Heisman winner? and he never played a down.

Still breaks my heart.

I believe that is correct. In fact, checking I see that from 1936 to 1970 only 3 black players won the Heisman: Davis, Mike Garrett and OJ.

Terry Baker? Wasn't Baker also a Heisman winner? Check...and yes, he did win the Heisman

5. #1 overall pick. Defensive End. Injuries shortened his career. Lived up to only half of his nickname.

Not recalling nicknames so there's a couple possibilities that spring to mind, but I'll go with Steve Entman an Indy pick IIRC...

Emtman was a DT...without a nickname. NO

6. #1 overall pick of an expansion team. QB. Was never given an offensive line to protect him. 23-56 career record as starter.

Feels like a trap question... step around the trap to answer: David Carr Check

7. #1 overall pick of an expansion team. QB. Was never given an offensive line to protect him 22-37 career record as starter.

... only to find another trap... seems like too few games to be David, but have no other guess, so... David Carr to be sure one will be right...

8. #1 overall pick in the draft. Running back that gained only 1144 career yards. Injuries stopped his career.

Been a few through the years... most recent is Carter (Kajana?) drafted by Cinci Check

9. #1 overall pick in the draft. QB. Played 3 seasons. Got fat and lazy. 7-18 record as a starter.

lol... JaMarkus Russell? Check

11. #6 overall pick....of big city team. Defensive End. Recorded -0- career sacks.

???

12. #3 overall pick. QB. Played 4 seasons but only had 5 TD passes and 1 win as starter. He was an asshole.

Except for the ass-hole part sounds Andre' Ware-ish... Not Ware

13. #7 overall pick. QB from pass happy college program (which produced another major bust at QB that is not part of this quiz). started just 6 games.

Sounds even more Andre Ware-ish... also won Heisaman and played some in Canada after departing Detroit.

Check Andre Ware

14. #6 overall pick. RB. His criminal career was more productive than his NFL career.

Friend of Lenny Dykstra? ... not really fair to Lenny...

15. #4 overall pick. QB. Same could be said about him as said above. 91 of 202 in his career with 3 TDs.

???
