GENERALS TRIVIA
--
How did the New Jersey Generals get the opportunity to sign 1984 Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie?
--
They held his USFL rights by virtue of including him among the team's 1985 territorial draft selections.
--
Each of the 14 teams playing in the 1985 season was entitled to select up to 25 players from a slate of local colleges and universities.
--
Generals owner Donald Trump made signing Flutie the team's #1 priority, and paid handsomely for his services.
--
Flutie's contract was worth a reported $1.2 million a year.
