Is Bernie Kosar the best supplemental draft pick in NFL history?
The NFL supplemental draft is set to take place on Tuesday, with former Purdue wide receiver Milton Wright and former Jackson State wide receiver Malachi Wideman set to enter their names in for bid. The Cleveland Browns have a history of being active in the supplemental draft, which began in 1977, landing the likes of quarterback Bernie Kosar and wide receiver Josh Gordon through the event.
This has us thinking: Is Kosar the best selection ever to come out of the event? Draft Wire’s Jeff Risdon thinks he may just be. Here is what Risdon had to say:
“The Cleveland Browns selected Kosar from the University of Miami (FL) in the first round of the 1985 supplemental draft. Kosar led the Browns to four postseason berths in his first six seasons.”
Risdon also listed Gordon under the honorable mention section of the article. Gordon, without a doubt, would have been the best player to ever come out of the event if he could have stayed on the field for a full career.
Could Wright or Wideman end up with the Browns? We will have our eyes peeled today.
