The Drafting of the 2010 Class – Floyd Little

posted by John Bena, Apr 16, 2010

As part of the merger agreement between the American Football League and National Football League, a joint draft between the two leagues was held for the first time in 1967. That ended the many heated battles between AFL and NFL clubs for the top college talent that had been the norm since the AFL was founded in 1960. There’s little doubt that Syracuse running back Floyd Little would been the embroiled in one of those tug-of-wars between the rival leagues had the draft format not changed in time.

"I think he will fall short. Not in the long run, but the #2 WR didn’t get in the first year, the #2 TE, who was a pass catcher, now I think has to be matched up with the other pass catchers, Obviously, Cris Carter has more catches, Andre Reed has more catches than Sharpe. I think it will take a few years, not out of the question Sharpe gets in the first year, I still think it won’t be this year, though.

I'll say it, I was very nervous, I'm excited, kind of like the lottery. You can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket, so this is the last step before the final step. At least I have a one in (17) chance to be one of the guys.

It's a huge accomplishment just to be on the list, a lot of hard work, it's amazing to be at this point, something my family would be excited about if I were to get that call.
