- In 1971, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Houston wide receiver Elmo Wright in the first round, thinking that he was 100% healthy and was medically fine. Turns out... that was the furthest thing from the truth

I loved Elmo’s touchdown dance. It was so simple.
It was classic
I did too. Little did I know, curley culp was my 4th cousin! Just found out 4 years ago
The Bills drafted JD Hill, the Steelers drafted Frank Lewis in 1971.
Good video, jg9! Ouch! You made a pun about Elmo wright-I remember his touchdown dance-he was really good at it after scoring-plus the clips about the 1971 season with the game against the Washington team-he didn’t score the winning touchdown-Otis Taylor did-too bad about him but he was exciting in his time with th the chiefs! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
The Washington team was called the Redskins in 1971
@@dale6613 I know that! That’s why I didn’t put the name on the comment-some people are probably sensitive to it!
I like how you refuse to call the Washington team the redskins but have no problem calling the Kansas City team the CHIEFS
Good Immaculate Grid answer (Titans and Patriots)
He is my hero and relative. We are proud of him and his excitement in the Kansas City endzone.
Looked strange seeing Dan Marino trying to tackle him.
No, it's a number 13 on the Dolphins that actually won a couple super bowls and was a super bowl MVP.
@@jackmessick2869 lol. Now that you put it that way.
Dan couldnt live up to the reputation of that 13.
Ingenious comment!!!
Why does the guy's first name remind me of that of the Sesame Street character for some reason? lol
Talking Elmo 😂
I wonder if Elmo Wright inspired Elmo Monster's red appearance nearly a decade later. 🤔
Elmo Wright's touchdown dance was the same as he did in college.
Thank goodness something like this wouldn't happen today. If the then-unserious Falcons knew something was up with Wright's knee, that says a lot about the Chiefs' due diligence (or the lack thereof).
I know Frank Lewis was already mentioned being drafted by the Steelers in a previous comment. Later on in his career, he played for buffalo, making a pro bowl with them in 1981
You'd think even in 1971 that teams would do routine medical exams on draft prospects.
Yeah, you'd hope so
A member of the college football HOF - Elmo’s college career coincided with the Houston Cougars basketball team of Elvin Hayes in 1968 going to the Final Four.
Dandy Don on MNF telecast called it his "dickie doo dance"....
As you’ve said in other videos the pre-Draft evaluation process was more crude back then. Makes me think that Wright told the Falcons about his injury because he didn’t want to be drafted by them. But he didn’t mind being drafted by the Chiefs.
As for John Wayne, well he did play college football at USC…
Frank Lewis was drafted by the Steelers in 1971, but made the Pro Bowl as a Bill a decade later.
You have to do the John Wayne story
He was the Sam Bowie ( Kentucky ) NBA of the NFL DRAFT , Bowie hid his problems they needed to take care of his family which of us wouldn't do the same to take care of their family.
I’m _shocked_ that a NFL player would be untruthful. Stunned. Why this defiles the great tradition of living in honesty exemplified by Bret Favre, O.J. Simpson and Aaron Rogers !
I did a bit of sleuthing since I didn't see anyone in the comments answer the case question. Pittsburgh and Buffalo are the only other teams aside from Kansas City to draft a wide receiver in the first round of the 1971 draft. Buffalo took J. D. Hill at pick #4 and Pittsburgh took Frank Lewis with pick #8.
Actually KC DID the Wright thing … it just turned out Wrong!
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about how Jim Otis’ draft stock dropped in 1970. If you think you know specifically why I brought this up please reply in the comments below.
Elmo had off the field issues with his tickling of cheerleaders.
It’s no surprise Elmo Wright’s career was underwhelming. After all, wide receivers taken with the #16 pick never pan out.
He made a business decision
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a 1,000 times. Never EVER trust a guy named Elmo.
Tickle this you weirdo!
Dan Marino dropped all the way to next to last pick in the first round of the 1983 draft would you consider him a bust Lol
Yeah, Hank Stram was a mess in the 70's
If Elmo Wright genuinely did lie about his health status, it wouldn’t be the first time you’ve done a video about someone associated with the Chiefs lying about something important in order to be with them, since you did a video about former Chiefs coach Frank Gansz lying about his entire background to get hired as coach in 1987.
_Crash_
Once again the Cheifs being snake bitten before things changed in the 2010s
