“With the 52nd pick in the 1936 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select Bob Reynolds, Tackle, Stanford University.”
With that pick in the 6th round in 1936, Bob Reynolds became the first player to be drafted from Stanford University. 206 players have followed Reynolds since then and at least two more will join that class this Thursday.
It will be very interesting to see where DE Solomon Thomas and RB/WR/KR/Superman Christian McCaffrey go. Stanford has had 22 1st-round draft picks including 4 #1 overall picks; all of whom were quarterbacks.
