The first pick was Jay Berwanger who had just been selected as the first Heisman Trophy winner. Berwanger played for the University of Chicago, a national power at the time but one that de-emphasized football a few years later.
This was Joe Dimaggio’s rookie year with the Yankees
In other words, a long, long time ago.
