And Jerry Rice was the 16th pick. Wiki says only a few teams were interested because of his 4.71 40-yard dash. Much too slow to be a good NFL receiver (hehehe)....

All part of the fun with draft picks. It’s like any other hiring decision, you can come up with all kinds of measurements and what not but in the end it’s a crap shoot. That’s the one good thing about these rookie contract holdouts, we find out if they’re any good pretty quick, it’s a rare thing for a guy that holds out on his rookie contract to actually put together a good career, it’s the guys that take what’s offered hoping for the big SECOND contract that become stars.
