1966 NFL Draft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The 1966 National Football League Draft featured the last draft in which the NFL and the AFL drafted their players separate of one another. As a result, many players selected by teams from both leagues would choose to play for the more established NFL, or in a rarer case, the AFL.
