On Monday Night Football it was trotted out (for the millionth time) that Tom Brady was a sixth-round draft choice. Also trotted out: how many late-round draft picks quarterbacked a team to a Super Bowl win. Bart Starr. Kurt Warner. Blah blah blah.
With his customary air of officiousness, Joe Theismann said, "What I'd like to know is . . . how many first-round picks have ever won the Super Bowl."
Hmm, Joe. Let's see. Joe Namath. Len Dawson. Bob Griese. Terry Bradshaw. Jim Plunkett. Phil Simms. Doug Williams. Troy Aikman. Brett Favre. John Elway. Trent Dilfer. Ben Rothslisberger.
That was top of my head. Did I miss Jim McMahon and Steve Young?
