GENERALS TRIVIA
--
288 players were selected in the inaugural USFL Draft, which took place over the days of January 4-5, 1983.
--
The Birmingham Stallions, fearing that he might be chosen by the Washington Federals, trade with the Generals to get the #3 slot in the order and with it select QB Reggie Collier.
--
The Generals received the #5 overall choice, as well as a fifth round pick, with which they selected RB Gary Anderson and T Mark Cooper.
--
Anderson was later traded to the Tampa Bay Bandits, who signed him to a contract.
--
Seven weeks after the draft, the Generals added another college man to their ranks - underclassman Herschel Walker.
