Pro Football Draft History


Seventy years ago, Hall of Famer Bert Bell spearheaded the idea of a player draft.  The idea came to fruition with the holding of the NFL's first ever player draft in 1936. 

Since that time what has happened in the draft room has set the stage for what happens on the field shaping the destiny of teams for years to come.

More than ten thousand of the best players from the college ranks have been drafted to play pro ball. Some never played a single down, others managed to have long careers, and a select few went on to greatness.

At NFL Team History.com we have seventy years of draft history supplying the most complete draft historical information found on the web.
