	Draft History presented by The NFL History Network
		In the spring of 1935, NFL team owners ratified a new system for the recruitment of college players that was the original brainstorm of then-commissioner Bert Bell.
		Previous to the draft, teams were free to sign any college player that they wished, which often resulted in bidding wars for players and which allowed players to chose their teams, making stronger teams stronger and weaker teams weaker.
		The first draft pick to actually play in the NFL was the 1936 second overall selection and Boston Redskins pick, Riley Smith of Alabama.

		Krause was the 432nd player chosen in the 1970 NFL draft -- the most "distant" selection to gain a regular season berth with the Packers -- and went on to play four seasons (1970, '71, '73 and '74).

		Say this much about Hall, the top-rated cornerback in the April 24-25 NFL draft: With the speed, coverage ability and big-play knack, he also seems to possess the moxie that scouts often maintain is essential for an NFL cornerback.
		Hall, who says he entered the draft as a junior because he saw himself at the top of the charts for his position, passes the confidence test with flying colors.
		Perhaps four cornerbacks will be drafted in the first round from what NFL personnel directors and draft experts consider a better than average crop of corners.

		The Louisville team had one of the shortest life spans in NFL history, having played just four games total in 1926 before going under - the NFL began in 1920 and the first decade of the league saw a lot of teams come and go.
		Probably the best known NFL twins are the only set who are still playing in the league.
		Unlike other sports (such as baseball where the list of twin athletes seems to be much shorter), the list of NFL twins should continue to grow in the future years.

		For the first time since the 1948 NFL Draft — those guys who played on the fl-and-white TVs Texas is projected to have two players picked among the first 10 players.
		On the old fl and white TV, Bobby Layne in football and Slater Martin in basketball and Grady Hatton and Ransom Jackson in baseball were ambassadors of The University of Texas and that made a kid in a little town in the state proud.
		Brown's ambassadors in the NFL speak about what his football program stands for, but he'd be the first to tell you that it isn't about him, rather it's about the kids.

		Urlacher's acrobatic interception, in which he batted Alex Smith's pass and then caught it with one hand as he was being knocked down by the 49ers Justin Smiley, was one of four turnovers the Bears generated in the first half.
		Urlacher's play came on the heels of a national sports magazine survey of NFL players in which he was rated the second-most overrated player to Terrell Owens.
		The 24 first-quarter points set a franchise record for the opening period and the 41 in the first half tied a mark set in 1948 against Washington.
