Best football player ever drafted out of round 7?

[NJYAJ09]

I can't think of a half decent one...


John Navarre?

Steve Tasker was taken in the 7th or 8th round? Maybe later (12th or 11th)

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I believe Clyde Simmons was a 12th rounder...

 

[Gee!]

Post padder, you dont even have arthur's technique.

 

[PAQ77]

Can't think of one... I know that Terrell Davis was a 6th rounder. Great back even though he only played a few years. But for those few years he was a stud.

One of the best steals of the draft is Tom Brady.

You would certainly be hard pressed to beat that!

Johnny Unitas was originally "signed" (try out?) by Pittsburg. He was released because the coach at the time said that "Unitas is not smart enough to be a Quarterback"... he was playing semi-pro ball when he got his chance with Baltimore. Does anyone know his original "draft position"?

And if you're feeling optimistic you should remember that Tom Brady is from the same coaching system that John Navarre is. They are both Michigan grads and are actually friends, I remember reading in the Michigan papers about Brady calling Navarre during Navarre's seasons as a starter at Michigan.
