BTSC continues to look at the least successful first round selections since 1969 with a matchup between a top ten pick from Temple and one of the Bluegrass State’s elite.
But first, the tally from the tightest first round matchup yet. With 613 votes counted, 1985’s Darryl Sims garnered 52% of the vote and narrowly outscored Tim Worley from 1989 by 25 votes. Sims advances to face the individual who receives the most votes between Aaron Jones and John Rienstra.

It’s hard to believe that Jones spent nine seasons in the NFL and had 18 sacks for three franchises.
