BULLS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| The
six expansion teams for 1984 were granted two
selections in each odd numbered round of the
USFL draft. |
| -- |
| The
selections were slotted at the beginning and end
of each round. |
| -- |
| The
Pittsburgh Maulers used the #1 overall selection
to select RB Mike Rozier from Nebraska, the 1983
Heisman Trophy winner. |
| -- |
| The
Maulers would sign Rozier, but by 1985 the back
would be in a Bulls uniform, a windfall from the
Maulers folding after just one season in the
league. |
| -- |
| The
Bulls were joined as USFL expansion teams by the
Pittsburgh Maulers, Oklahoma Outlaws, Memphis
Showboats, Houston Gamblers and San Antonio
Gunslingers. |
| -- |
| Of
the six expansion teams, the Bulls were by far
the greatest success financially, thanks in no
small part to shrewd marketing and the rapid
development of a rabid fan base. |
