GENERALS TRIVIA
--
Though consisting of fewer rounds than the 1983 edition, the 1984 USFL Draft was the largest draft in league history, with over 400 players' rights being allocated among the league's 18 teams. 
--
The 1984 USFL Draft consisted of 19 rounds, compared to 24 rounds in the 1983 draft.
--
The following year, thanks in part to players being available from four teams that no longer existed, the USFL opted for a 12-round draft, similar to what the NFL conducted at the time.
--
The Generals did not have a first round selection in 1984 due to their 1983 signing of Heisman Trophy winning RB Herschel Walker.
--
Loading up on picks in the early portion of the draft (5 in the first three rounds), the Generals traded away five picks, including their 4th through 7th round selections.
