You, again?

[mordeci]

Please name for me the only player drafted in the first round twice by the same team.

Can I get a hint?

[mordeci]

A hint? You're the senior member, I'm just a lowly little junior member.

OK, a few hints, in ascending order of usefulness. The last one will probably give it away.

1. this is not a trick question, it's probably the biggest (non-Ryan Leaf) screw up in draft history.
2. it was a long time ago (too vague?)
3. both times he was drafted it was the NFL draft, not 2 different leagues
4. he never played for the team that drafted him twice, or any other team
5. between the 2 drafts he was drafted behind 11 players, 3 of them were heisman trophy winners (that has to be a record).



This one should give it away (the drafts, not necessarily the player):
6. he was drafted behind inside and outside.

OK, I get it, no one cares about Cal Rossi.

Rossi was taken 9th overall by the Redskins in '46. But they hadn't done their homework, he was only a junior. They took him again in '47 (4th pick) but still hadn't done their homework, he didn't want to play in the NFL. 2 first round picks, no player.

He was drafted behind Doc Blanchard (Mr. Inside) and Johnny Lujack in '46 and Glenn Davis (Mr. Outside) in '47.

I've never heard of him before. But, now I know something new.

Out of curiosity, where did he go to school.
