EXPRESS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| While
the 1984 USFL Draft consisted of fewer rounds
than the 1983 edition (19 as opposed to 24), the
league's 18 teams selected more players than had
the charter 12 franchises the year before. |
| -- |
| The
league's six expansion teams were awarded
additional selections in many odd-numbered
rounds. |
| -- |
| For
the second consecutive year, the Express used
their first round draft choice to gain rights to
an outstanding college quarterback, this time
Steve Young of Brigham Young
University. |
| -- |
| Unlike
Dan Marino in 1983 however, Young signed with
the Express thanks to new owner J. William
Oldenburg's offer of the richest contract in pro
football history to that time. |
| -- |
| In
the end the Express would sign every single
draft choice the team made in 1984, a feat
accomplished by no other USFL team in any of its
three seasons of existence. |
