You'll never be the #1 pick coming out of Bethune Apparently you've never heard of "The Tooz" .... #1 draft pick out of University of Tampa. Talk about wild! That was more than a year or two ago...

John Matuszak, from Div II University of Tampa, was the overall #1 pick (Oakland Raiders) of the 1973 NFL draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
