    1) The 1996 NFL draft featured two Illini players going in the top 3, but no QB was taken until this player was drafted by the Rams at pick 42 of the 2nd round.

    2) In the 2001 NFL Draft, the Bears took WR David Terrell one spot ahead of this WR drafted by Seattle with pick #9.

    3) Washington had the #2 and #3 picks in the 2000 NFL draft, drafting LaVar Arrington at #2 and this SEC player at #3.

    4) This future All-Pro RB from a non-power 5 conference was selected 1 spot after Rashard Mendenhall in the 2008 draft, going to an AFC team at pick #24.

    5) The notoriously weak 2013 draft had Eric Fisher drafted #1 overall, followed by these two players (one OL, one DL) at picks 2 and 3.

    6) Jeff George was the first QB taken in the 1990 NFL draft, the second was this player drafted #7 by an NFC Central team.

    7) The top 5 picks of the 2004 NFL draft included 4 future superstars (Eli Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, Philip Rivers, Sean Taylor) plus this offensive lineman drafted by an AFC West team.

    8) In the 1994 draft, a current NFC West team used a first round pick on this fullback.

    9) After Aaron Rodgers famously fell to #22 in the 2005 NFL draft, an NFC East franchise drafted this QB with the following pick at #23.

    10) 3 QB’s were taken in the first round of the 2016 draft - Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, and this non-power 5 QB drafted #26 overall.
