The 2023 NFL draft is in the books and there were a record 12 QBs selected in the first five rounds. Mr. Irrelevant 2022 may have had a little something to do with that.

Building a championship team is never easy, and when it comes to the NFL draft, nobody really knows how picks will perform. There were a few teams in the history of the league that actually got it right.

With draft day, approaching, we talk about some of the craziest stories in NFL draft history!

Pro football Hall of Fame head coach Bud Grant led the Minnesota Vikings to four Super Bowl appearances in 18 years, but what did he do before that? Where did he come from?

In the words of NBC Sports, a convicted armed robber at 21, Philadelphia Eagle at 26, dead at 31. Alabama Pitts is what they called him.

When I first learned of the NFL’s unofficial 12 year ban on black players, I never asked these questions. Did they play after college? And if so, where? I now have my answer.

Charles Follis was the first of 17 blacks to play pre-and post NFL. Players like Fritz Pollard, and Paul Robeson carried the torch in the 1920s, but by the mid-1930s, those numbers dropped to zero. There was no excuse, but there were reasons.

Being a trailblazer isn’t easy, but someone had to be first. When professional football began, there were 17 African-Americans that played pre-and post NFL. Let me tell you about them.

Super Bowl 57 was the first in history with two black quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts gave us a classic, but there was a long road that came before them. It’s sucks being a trailblazer.

As we prepare for Super Bowl LVII, we’ll give you the rundown of my favorite AFC Championship game in NFL history!

Super Bowl LVII is set as both the AFC and NFC Championships are in the books. Today, I’ll give you the first of my two favorites in conference championship history.

On Sunday, the 49ers and Cowboys met for the ninth time in a playoff rivalry that traces all the way back to 1970. Two franchises with championship pedigree, we show you how they got there.

Every December 23rd, former Raiders linebacker Phil Villapiano gets a call from former Steelers running back Franco Harris. The question? “What were you doing on this day X years ago?” I’m guessing it’s the 50th year Villapiano has gotten this phone call.

I have no proof, but I believe that Chuck Taylor had a major role in the New York Giants’ first ever NFL championship.

When a star player leaves his former team, it can be for many reasons. They could be cut, traded, or even wanted out. Whatever the reason, it’s always fun watching them play their old squad.

Football isn’t always played in perfect conditions, but it’s always amazing to see how players adjust to “football weather.“

Could Tyreek Hill become the first 2,000 yard receiver in NFL history? I don’t know, but this I do know. Pass receiving has come a long way!

There are teams that are overlooked. It happens every year. I’m talking about that squad that makes the playoffs and come so close…but their window closes quickly. The 1980 and 81 Buffalo Bills were one of those teams.

We know about the Don Shula led Miami Dolphins of the 1970s. Two Super Bowls in three tries, an undefeated 1972 season, but, what happened in the 80s? Here’s what I learned.

The San Diego Chargers of the late 70s and early 80s were ahead of their time, setting records along the way. Why didn’t they ever win a Super Bowl? Some would say because of their defense, but that’s not entirely accurate.

As we continue our tour through the 1980s, I always wondered why the dominant Chicago Bears never won more than one Super Bowl? What happened after that magical 85 season?

I know Denver paid Russell Wilson a lot of money, I know this, and Broncos fans aren’t exactly “Mile High” today! We fans are offensively spoiled these days, but Broncos Country, it could be worse.
