Players drafted?
Not a big football guy, so I was wondering how many players from the two teams were drafted, if any?
shareWell, being Ivy League football....not many.
In reviewing Pro Football Reference for Yale and Harvard football players drafted from 1969 through around 1971 (which could have included those who played in this 1968 game) I only saw a few:
The obvious one is Yale RB and Cowboy great Calvin Hill, who was taken in the 1st Round in 1969.
Yale QB Brian Dowling was taken in the 11th round by the Vikings that same year.
Yale DB Don Martin was drafted by the Raiders in 1971, so one has to assume he was on the 1968 Yale team, although he was not featured in the movie.
As for Harvard, it does not appear that anyone on that 1968 team was drafted. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/colleges/harvard/
