Unlike the real first round of the NFL Draft, this one is moving along at a brisk pace. The next pick is in, so let's go to the microphone ...
Darrell Green, DB, Washington Redskins (1983, Texas A&I)
While often holding the title as the NFL's fastest man, Green helped the Redskins win two Super Bowls -- Super Bowls XXII and XXVI -- while also earning seven Pro Bowl selections in his 20 seasons with Washington.
The Dallas Cowboys hold the No. 28 pick in this year's draft, and given that they are entertaining the idea of acquiring the troubled Pacman Jones, it would appear selecting Green in this spot would be a much more desirable option.
Other notable players selected at No. 28 include ...
Andy Katzenmoyer (1999), who isn't exactly "notable" so much as "hmm, whatever happened to him?" After a neck injury prematurely ended his career, Katzenmoyer settled in as an assistant football coach and defensive coordinator at Westerville South High School (Ohio).
Mark Ingram (1987), who made a crucial third-down play on a touchdown drive in the Giants' Super Bowl XXV victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Bennie Cunningham (1976), who played on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl XII- and XIV-winning teams.
Current NFL players selected at No. 28: Joe Staley, OT, San Francisco 49ers (2007, Central Michigan); Marcedes Lewis, TE, Jacksonville Jaguars (2006, UCLA); Luis Castillo, DE, San Diego Chargers (2005, Northwestern); Chris Gamble, CB, Carolina Panthers (2004, Ohio State); Andre Woolfolk, CB, Tennessee Titans (2003, Oklahoma); Jerramy Stevens, TE, Seattle Seahawks (2002, Washington); Rob Morris, LB, Indianapolis Colts (2000, BYU); R.W. McQuarters, CB, San Francisco 49ers (1998, Oklahoma State); Trevor Pryce, DT, Denver Broncos (1997, Clemson); Derrick Brooks, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1995, Florida State).
