Okay, so I was digging into the 1989 NFL draft the other day. You know, just one of those random things you get curious about. I started by checking out who went first. Turns out, it was Troy Aikman. I even watched a bit of his last game at UCLA. Man, that guy was good!
Then I got to thinking, how did this draft class stack up overall? I found out that some folks think it wasn’t as strong as the draft five years before. That surprised me a little, ’cause you always hear about the ’89 draft being a big deal.
While I was looking around, I stumbled upon a list of the biggest quarterback busts in NFL draft history. One name that popped up was Mike Kruczek. Apparently, he was a better coach than a player. It’s crazy how some guys just don’t pan out the way you expect.
After that, I started getting into the nitty-gritty details. I found this website, *, that has all the results from the 1989 draft. They had info on all the players, trades, and even their career stats. It was a real goldmine of information. I spent hours just going through it all.
- Troy Aikman: Number 1 pick, great college career.
- 1989 Draft Class: Maybe not as strong as some others.
- Quarterback Busts: Mike Kruczek’s story was interesting.
- Draft Results: Detailed info on *.
What really grabbed my attention was reading about Troy Aikman’s college career. They said he was the third-highest rated passer in NCAA history and an All-American at UCLA. No wonder he went number one!
What I did:
I started by reading up on the draft, the top picks, and then went down the rabbit hole of looking at player stats and even some of the busts. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon, and I learned a lot about that particular draft. Just shows you how much history is packed into these events.
