All-time ultimate mock draft, pick No. 14

The NFL Draft may have come and past, but "Greatest Pro Bowls of all time, and other stuff" continues its countdown from pick No. 32 to pick No. 1, recalling the greatest players ever selected in those spots.

The ultimate all-time mock draft marches on with pick No. 14 ...

Jim Kelly, QB, Buffalo Bills (1983, Miami, Fla.)


After opting to initially sign with the Houston Gamblers of the United State Football League, Kelly joined the Bills in 1986, and went on to one of the most productive careers a quarterback has ever enjoyed. Teaming with future Hall of Famer James Lofton and go-to receiver Andre Reed, Kelly ran the Bills' potent "K-Gun" no-huddle offense (in often-colder-than-chilly Buffalo, mind you) that helped fuel Buffalo's four consecutive Super Bowl appearances.

"Don’t get me wrong -- my heart will always belong to Jim Kelly. He’s my guy. Irish tough, full of swagger, a dynamic passer, and let the record show he is the last significant quarterback who actually called his own plays," -- Nick Bakay on Kelly.

Other notable players selected at No. 14 include ...

Jeremy Shockey, TE, New York Giants (2002, Miami, Fla.), whose team won a Super Bowl without him.

Eddie George, RB, Houston Oilers (1996, Ohio State), who was the workhorse behind the Tennessee Titans' run to Super Bowl XXXIV.

Randy Gradishar, LB, Denver Broncos (1974, Ohio State), who was the catalyst for the Broncos' "Orange Crush" defense and has been nominated a number of times for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Gino Marchetti, DE, Detroit Lions (1952, San Francisco), who famously refused to go to the locker room and watched the rest of the classic 1958 NFL championship game from the sidelines on a stretcher after suffering a broken leg.
