My favorite moment is hearing the Falcons pick "Brett Favor" 😆
Dont forget Marcus “Marioto”
That’s
Omg right like wtf? Wish he said it like in something about Mary haha
@Rowdy Jr. that's how everyone pronounces his last name unless they've heard it before. I mean it's spelled Favre
@Rowdy Jr. well yeah, that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. But I'm saying if you just saw his name for the first time and never heard it pronounced before, you would pronounce it favor since that's how it's spelled
lol it took 10 years before someone realized they should invest in actually watching players before deciding who to draft?
scouting just wasnt nearly as easy, scouts have it lucky now with every single college game and almost every highschool game recorded
Traveling around the country just to check out guys you've never heard of, never had film on, was likely a huge expense until the league started making more money. The teams likely couldnt afford to hire more staff and have expenses that may or may not end up translating to a better team. Plus communications back then sucked. If someone wasn't where you thought they were when you called, no way to reach them. Constantly leaving messages and playing phone tag. We have it easy nowadays. We can instantly communicate with anyone around the world and search anything in the entire database of human knowledge, aka, the internet.
In modern terms, I guess it was like spending all night binging College Football Reference with soda on hand and betting your franchise's future on that.
The most insane draft moment that no one talks about is how in 1996, ESPN announced that QB Mark Butterfield had just been drafted. The only problem? He wasn't drafted. Why ESPN put his name up there on the draft ticker, I don't know, but he had no idea that ESPN had made a mistake. He was celebrating and didn't realize until later that night that ESPN had made a mistake, and that the Packers never actually drafted him. Butterfield went undrafted
Fecking oof
D'oh!!!!!!!!!!!
When you realize that the first ever pick didn’t even end up even choosing football as a career: 🤨😲😂😑😭
Me: huh
To be fair, he did later say he regretted not choosing football
@Rowdy Jr. 1st round picks do matter because they were the best college players ever and people love to see teams fail at the draft
@Rowdy Jr. 1st round picks don’t matter you sound like a clown 🤡
Shows you how shit they used to be payed
Fun fact, jay berwanger became a millionaire when he sold his company. He made more money turning down the NFL than if he had played
So it really wasn’t the worst decision for him lol
@@kalikid3198 well $32M later and retirement at an early age doesn’t sound bad
@@colin3817 and no CTE or other debilitating injuries
Yes
I call bullshit!

My 10 favorite pieces of obscure draft trivia that people might not know about:
1) In 1991, the Cardinals spent a first round pick on a player who never played college football, and played semi-pro football with a team called the Bay State Titans
2) In 1984, the Cowboys drafted Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis. He expressed no desire in ever playing football
3) In 1982, Darrin Nelson wrote a letter to the Vikings and only the Vikings begging the team not to draft him. The Vikings drafted him anyways
4) In 1969, unhappy that he was drafted by the Boston Patriots, Ron Sellers just started negotiating a contract with the Raiders. It didn't work
5) In 1971, the Eagles traded away three picks between rounds 2-3 for QB Greg Barton. He never played a down for the Eagles. One of the worst trades ever
6) In 1974, the draft was delayed by 30 minutes when the Lions and Saints couldn't agree on who held the rights to the pick in question
7) In 1964, the Dallas Cowboys spent 6 hours on the clock. They selected Mel Renfro, and wanted to conduct a medical evaluation before taking him for good
8) In 1974, Al Davis drafted a player in the 3rd round knowing nothing about him, other than the fact that he ran around in a gym and he liked the way he ran
9) In 1982, Washington tried to buy the #1 pick off of the Patriots. It didn't work
10) In 1991, the Dolphins drafted WR Randal Hill. They traded him after 1 game
Who was the cards guy
Eric Swann
Number 4 is hilarious, perfect for the times. Like NBA drafts in the late 50s-60s, top picks would just say F it not report to the bad teams that drafted them and go get a contract with The Celtics, Lakers or Warriors.
Miami trading Randal "The Thrill" Hill after that week 1 game against Buffalo, ended up being a great pick for them in '92, #6 overall, Troy Vincent.
You can't just leave out Eric Swann's name. And he had a solid NFL career when healthy.
So much history in the NFL that I never know
There hasn’t been enough time for you to watch the video yet
How when you havent even seen the fu king video lmao
I watched so many NFL history vids and STILL don’t know the entire history lol
I know so much
@@ajburrr I do
“Brett Favor” will never be forgotten
Imagine being the first pick in the history in the nfl just to turn it down and to just sell rubber
He prolly made 10x as much money as he would have in football
@@thebrotasticbro9465 not really,football player didn’t make hardly anything back then
@@ghosttoast8610 i agree
@@thebrotasticbro9465 he made $32m and retired early and sold his company. He probably wouldn’t have made shit in the NFL. Kudos to that guy
@@KidChampionshipWrestling smart man lol
I love how that roast chain started 😂
I need that on repeat 🤣
I'm so weak by then Jets fans 🤣
Man said "The worst pick since Last Year!"
They weren’t wrong tho
23:23 Pat McAfee is an absolute legend
0:37 *"I watched the draft a couple of months later. Robert Mathis announced the pick, Joe Reitz announced the pick, AND THEN AN ORANGUTAN ANNOUNCED THE 4TH ROUND DRAFT PICK! I WAS REPLACED BY A ZOO ANIMAL!"*
babe wake up, NFL throwback just uploaded
I love seeing uploads like this. Thanks, NFL Throwback!!!
I just became a fan of the NFL last year, so these videos are great for learning more and more about how the NFL came to be. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
I really liked the virtual draft. The in person stuff is fantastic too but there's a sense of home when you see all the players in their house with their families
Yeah, that was good. But I did enjoy the Pre-2020 format.
To each his own. :)
Please keep making more NFL Draft videos.
Amen and war eagle
Shoutout to Bill Nunn and the Steelers for drafting 4 HOF players in 1974
Who will go in the HOF soon. What an underrated legend.
Yessir
Henry ruggs swagging out in a robe 😃
He'll now be swagging in an orange uniform 😃
The dumbest move of all draft history is the New Orleans Saints trading their 1-7 round picks for a running back to then cut him in 3 years.
Yeah I have to agree. And they even gave picks from the next years draft too, smh
On the upside we got to see Ditka marrying Williams in a dress.
you do realize the raiders drafted a kicker and a punter in the first round.
@@jacksonclendaniel5190 That punter is in the Hall of Fame.
@@jacksonclendaniel5190 yeah but Ray Guy is in the Hall of Fame and Janikowski probably will be as well. So at least they didnt draft busts.
These videos never disappoint!
Pat what a damn legend, roasted the Titans so indirectly it hurts even more than a direct burn
I don't think they caught that at first 🤣
This video showed up in my recommendations just now. I'm a SF 49ers fan and I find it interesting that at 8:57 they mention "Mr. Irrelevant". Let's see what the future holds for Brock Purdy.
I love these kind of videos the NFL does because I learn so much NFL history that I never would’ve thought about and it really shows us how the NFL has become the league and sport we all know it as today.
David Akers was spitting harsh facts at those Cowboys fans! 🤣
Brett Favor was great for the falcons, leading them to a Super Bowl victory over the Patriots, before losing the next season to the Broncos, and did it again the next year as well.
I love these types of videos.
The Jets deserve their own section...
i am so excited every time yall post, also post more full drafts
Incredible channel. A provider of invaluable context, in regards to the history of the sport
This rundown of history is amazing, Bravo
I'm still laughing about the orangutan that picked Marlon Mack 😂😂
With the first pick of the 2021 NFL Draft,The Jacksonville Jaguars select Trevor Lawrence from Clemson
Mans is playin like doo doo
I’m not even a raiders fan but Al Davis was f’n savage
This was fun to watch and learn. Thanks.
The 2020 draft was awesome, one of the best things to come out of the pandemic. I wish they had continued with that format
Brett favor 😂
I love these types of vids please make more!
The NFL will always remember the sheer joy and energy at the 2019 draft in downtown Nashville. Titan up!
Love these vids and especially Kyle
respectfully one of the best youtube channels, and for sure the best youtube channel to be associated with a league
Nfl history is the best to know
Yo this is so good of a video
There is only three things in my life.
“My beliefs, My family, and football”
-Me, adapted from Vince Lombardi.
I'm surprised the ratings for the draft were so high last year. I know there was a pandemic and all, but I thought more people might have streamed it rather than watched it on actual television.
Ha ha Jets fans are the best. So many memorable quotes!
The guy that shouted "OH NO" when Roger Vick got drafted in 1987 will always be the funniest moment in draft history
Great video!
Amazing video!!!
I loved this thanks
The history of the draft is something that I always wanted to be video and now it is!
Love this channel
That throwback clip of Kiper is crazy to see
That virtual draft was really special I think it Helped us all at the start of the pandemic. I think it's only fitting this years draft is coming and were damn close to the end!
24:39 Goodell lying on the couch always makes me laugh lol
Imagine if someone traded every pick in your draft to pick up someone like Marcus Mariota
Remember the package that the Saints offered Washington to take Ricky Williams? They offered that same package to Cincinnati, with three first round picks. Cincinnati declined and took Akili Smith. Imagine passing up on 10+ draft picks so you could take Akili Smith, arguably the biggest bust in NFL history
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 bruh literally... I was gonna say someone more exciting like Manziel but idk, I used Mariota as the comparison
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 Akili Smith was a bust, indeed, but far from the biggest one.
I love seeing this after Brock Purdy was drafted
I love that, "Atlanta has selected Brett FAVOR"
I will be in Cleveland 2021 witnessing even more history being made.
Pat McAfee is FUNNY AS HECK
2020 draft was something special honestly
this video taught me a lot
18:45 The welcome was so warm some might even call it heated ;D
We need to see some more draft roasts up on the stage. The NFL should encourage old players to get up there and destroy their rivals for a minute or two
I love the independent guys who make info videos about this type of stuff. But when the companies themselves make these type of videos, especially since they have all the footage, I will always prefer these
"The worst pick since last year"🤣
Imagine you’re Marlon Mack and an orangutan announces your pick lol
When a team does not pick who Mel Kiper thinks they should, Mel takes it SOOO personally. That's the best part of every NFL draft...watching Mel's disappointment that teams dared not follow his explicit instructions. HOW DARE THEY! If Mel says to draft player XYZ, you BETTER DO IT...SO SAYETH THE LORD, MEL KIPER! PRAISE UNTO MEL!
24:50 now he swagging it out in a bright orange jumpsuit
Brett Farve is a legend after being drafted and in '65 the Cardinals picked a kicker in the 1st round
19:08 Cowboys red helmet with Dallas, Texas for the logo. Yes but blue and I’m wit it
You make a lot of how the Herschel Walker trade propelled the Cowboys, but it's a damn shame you didn't mention the Redskins' trainwreck in the 1999 draft, when they received SIX picks from the Saints for the chance to get Ricky Williams, only for new owner Dan Snyder to package them up and send them to the Bears and Broncos to move up to get Champ Bailey.....the ONLY player from that draft that even remotely contributed to their fortunes in the 2000s.
Dang did I just watch that whole video without skipping anything that’s an accomplishment 😂😂
I had to watch those roasts at least three times 😂 23:02
0:18 FAVOR????!!!!!!
YOURRRREE FIIIIIRRRREEEEE!!!!
My uncle played with Alex smith in college before I was born, he’s an awesome guy! (My uncle didn’t play in the NFL because he got married and joined the family job)
See y'all in Cleveland, YESSIR!
"An absolute mahckery" 🤣

I can't believe the draft was once 30 rounds. That is insane
Beautiful vudeo

@@adrianpena800 I’ve been talking a lot with the Dolphins, Cardinals, Jets, and Steelers
@@Rizzver Stfu you coming to Buffalo You’re the second coming of Marshawn lynch embrace it
@@AlucardMM they told me they won’t take me unfortunately

Did the name “Draft” come from war drafting?
