Name the current Big Ten Schools that have at some point had a #1 overall NFL draft pick. Indiana: Corbett Davis Iowa: Randy Duncan Michigan: Tom Harmon and Jake Long Michigan St.: Bubba Smith Ohio St.: Dan Wilkinson, Orlando Pace Penn St.: Courtney Brown, KiJana Carter 10. Which Ivy League school is the only member of that conference to have a #1 overall pick. Name school and player. Penn: Chuck Bednarik HOF 11. Which 2 states have had 5 different schools produce the #1 overall draft pick? California: USC/UCLA/Stanford/Cal/Fresno St. Texas: Rice/TCU/Texas Tech/SMU/Texas 12. Which 2 teams gave up their rights to the #1 overall pick to take players in the supplemental draft? The Cleveland Browns via the Buffalo Bills for the rights to Bernie Kosar The Dallas Cowboys for the rights to Steve Walsh 13. What do these names represent: Sisto Averno, John Saban, Lamar Leachman, and Bob Bartholomew? These are the "Mr. Irrelevents" chosen by the Cleveland Browns over the years. Though, they were all in the 50s, before that list pick became known as Mr. Irrelevent. The last time the Browns had that choice was 1956 14. A. Only 1 strictly interior offensive lineman (C-OG)has ever been selected with the #1 overall pick. Name him...and the team that took him. Center Ki Aldrich by the Cardinals in 1939 B. Only 1 Defensive Back has ever been taken with the #1 overall pick. Name him and the team that took him. Gary Glick by the Steelers 1956 15. The #1 overall pick has gone primarily to QBs and RBs. Besides these 2 positions, which position has had the next most players selected. (the previous question should be of help in eliminating some positions). Here is the rundown of the #1 overall pick by unit/position: QBs: 30 RBs: 22 DEs: 9 WRs: 5 LBs: 4 OTs: 3 DTs: 3 DBs: 1 C/G: 1 (note: you could say technically that there were two centers taken #1 overall as Chuck Bednarik played both C and MLB. I have counted him primarily as a LB which he is most known for. It seems pretty safe to say that this year's #1 overall will NOT be a QB or RB, so what will it be?)
