EXPRESS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| The
1985 USFL Draft was conducted over one day -
January 3, 1985. |
| -- |
| The
draft comprised 12 rounds, equal to the number
conducted by the NFL at the time. |
| -- |
| The
Express received two compensatory picks, as they
had previously made trades with teams that were
folded or merged following the 1984 season. |
| -- |
| Being
operated by the league and on a shoestring
budget, virtually none of those players drafted
by the Express in 1985 were signed to contracts. |
|
The
Los Angeles Express selections in the 1985 USFL
College Draft, held on January 3, 1985. No
record exists with respect to the disposition of
the Express' selection in rounds 4 or 8.
