BREAKERS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| The
inaugural USFL Draft was held on January 4-5,
1983. |
| -- |
| The
team's order of selection was determined by
lottery, with teams alternating order between
rounds (the L.A. Express, who picked first in
the first round, chose last in the second, then
first in the third, and so on). |
| -- |
| The
Breakers traded their first round choice to the
Chicago Blitz, which used it to select WR
Trumaine Johnson from Grambling. |
| -- |
| The
Los Angeles Express used the first overall
selection to pick quarterback Dan Marino from
the University of Pittsburgh. Marino would
ultimately sign with the NFL's Miami Dolphins,
but while he was negotiating with the Express
made several appearances at team functions and
events. |
