John Jacob "Jay" Berwanger (March 19, 1914 – June 26, 2002) was an American college football player and referee. He was the first winner of the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy in 1935 (the following year the award was renamed the Heisman Trophy); the trophy is awarded annually to the nation's most outstanding college football player. Berwanger was a star halfback for the Chicago Maroons football team of the University of Chicago, where he was known as the "one man football team". In 1936, Berwanger became the first player drafted into the National Football League (NFL) in its inaugural 1936 NFL Draft, though he did not play professionally.

I guess they didn't guarantee him $50,000,000. 😆

    21. Supreme Court Justice.......I just remembered one of the purple people eaters, now Page or Eller? Hmmmmm, Page?

    Page.  Minnesota Supreme Court.

    But, Byron "Whizzer" White....US Supreme Court Justice, was the #4 overall draft pick in 1938:

    (note:  Corbett Davis is not one of the answers in this quiz)

    Round one[edit]

    Pick # NFL Team Player Position College
    1 Cleveland Rams Corbett Davis Back Indiana University
    2 Philadelphia Eagles Jim McDonald Back Ohio State
    3 Brooklyn Dodgers Boyd Brumbaugh Back Duquesne
    4 Pittsburgh Pirates Byron "Whizzer" White Back Colorado
    5 Chicago Cardinals Jack Robbins Back Arkansas
    6 Detroit Lions Alex Wojciechowicz Center Fordham
    7 Green Bay Packers Cecil Isbell Back Purdue
    8 New York Giants George Karamatic Back Gonzaga
    9 Washington Redskins Andy Farkas Back Detroit
    10 Chicago Bears Joe Gray Back Oregon State

    4. Mr. Montreal Alouette

    Warren Moon   No....he was actually and Undrafted Free Agent.

    8. Famous for saying "Skoal, Brother"

    Earl Cambell  Check

    11. Oliver's kid

    Andrew Luck  Check

    19. Shares a name with a state.      Hint....that state is NOT Washington (though like 250 people named Washington have played in the NFL...none have ever been the #1 overall pick)

    Joe Montana  Good guess, not right.   Joe Cool was actually a 3rd round pick...#82 I believe
