The first person to be drafted in the inaugural NFL college draft in 1936 was halfback Jay Berwanger by the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles traded the rights to Berwanger to the Chicago Bears, but he never signed with the team, and never played a down in the NFL. Berwanger was also the first recipient of the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy, which was renamed a year later as the Heisman Trophy.
