The measurements didn’t add up, and that caused Chris Hanburger to fall in the 1965 draft. He was too short, too light and not fast enough.
It was 18 rounds and 245 picks before the Washington Redskins selected Hanburger. Five years ago, he was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
It’s safe to say Hanburger is the best late-round pick the Redskins have ever made. In this year’s draft, the 245th pick would be made late in the seventh round. But in any era, Hanburger was a long shot to make a roster, let alone be as successful as he was.
