<![CDATA[I'm Back]]>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?

2. Pro Football Reference has this statistic: Approximate Value. It is supposed to measure a players overall Career Production.

Where is "White Tarkenton" on this list?

3. Who are #s 1, 2, and 3 on that list?

4. Which 5 colleges have had 4 or more players from those school taken with #1 overall draft pick?

5. Which #1 overall draft pick scored the most TDs in his career...rushing or receiving?

6. Name the 4 #1 overall draft pick QBs who have won 100 or more games in their careers.

7. Which #1 overall pick rushed for the most yards in his career?

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?

(not including Myles Garrett who has not yet played in one)

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.

12. Two QBs are tied for making the most First Team All Pro teams in history with 7 each. Name these 2 QBs

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.

@wargograw said:

Baylor did have one. Lawrence Elkins in 65. The other is SMU.

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.
