66 years later, McHan remains Arkansas' highest draft pick
Photo by Arkansas Democrat-Gazette FileFAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas' top NFL Draft pick didn't have a Hall of Fame career.
He wasn't the Razorbacks' top finisher in the Heisman Trophy nor any of the dozens of players who earned All-America honors during their years in Fayetteville. He was never named All-Pro.
In fact, Lamar McHan's greatest professional football legacy might have been as a coach when he was hired by the New Orleans Saints to mentor a young, redheaded gunslinger named Archie Manning. McHan's own pro career was tenured, but not particularly memorable.
