I found 2

One is Gary Garrison, 1968-71. And Buddy Dial (1960-63) just missed, averaging 19.6 one year and 19.8 another.

Paul Warfield would've qualified if he hadn't missed three games in 1970.

Jim Taylor Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's in there. I was going to nominate himself a few posts back, but somehow I got it into my head that the number mentioned in the original question was FORTY rather than 20. I'm sure Taylor hit 20, and probably somebody else did before O.J. too. Sayers or Leroy Ke...

Deleted because it was a dumb post.

I was the number one draft choice for the same team two years in a row. The first time I was drafted, I was a junior and not eligible. The next year that same team drafted me but I never wanted to play in the NFL and didn't. What's more amazing is this wasn't done by Daniel Snyder I won't give this...

This QB played in 106 games over a 10-year career. Through his first 9 years, he compiled a winning record as a starting QB.

Hey, I think you're right!

Ooh, good one. He beat Snead to it by ten years or so. And oddly enough, they shared two of their three teams; both made it while with the Eagles and the Redskins.

Norm Snead?

Ah, I see. Thanks.

OK, Purdy was the last player drafted; that seems clear. But on the game last night I believe they said he was the 262nd player taken, and I can't figure out how that would work. I thought the draft was seven rounds, for 32 teams, so that's 224 players in a given year. Or if it's eight rounds, that ...
