Didn't know that. I remember that Tom Flynn was drafted by the LA Rams in '65.

The NFL draft used to go a lot more rounds. Quinn Buckner got drafted as well, despite the fact that he was certain to be a first round NBA pick.

All this tells me is that our football program needs to recruit better.

A name from recruitments past might follow that same path, thanks to Aaron Rodgers- https://sports.yahoo.com/news/packers-qb-aaron-rodgers-might-have-jump-started-nfl-career-of-kansas-basketball-player-tarik-black-022034994-nfl.html

I don't believe that is true. I seem to remember that Tom Copa, who was a HS AA Tight End in football, was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys. Not sure if it was the actual draft or supplemental draft but I do remember him being drafted.

I don't think Tom Copa was drafted.

I think Copa, like Artie Green, worked out for some NFL teams but was not drafted.
