With the New York crowd chanting "We want Sapp!" in 1995, the Jets stunned everyone by drafting tight end Kyle Brady, who was greeted on stage with a chorus of boos. They passed on defensive tackle Warren Sapp, who would go on to have a Hall of Fame career. At the time, the Jets felt Sapp was too risky because of off-the-field issues.
"I admit, I was as mystified as the fans were," Brady told ESPN seven years ago in a story about his draft-day experience.
Brady, who had only modest receiving numbers at Penn State, played 13 years and made about $30 million. A nice career, to be sure, but no gold jacket.
