While randomly scanning through the Bengals all time draft picks, i get to 1968 and after being shocked at the total number of picks...17 rounds i see a couple things.
1. Something i didn't realize or had forgotten. Bob Trumpy was a 12th rd draft pick. That's not the obscure part. This is...
2. In the 13th rd (2nd pick), the Bengals took a guy named Teddy Washington. RB out of San Diego St.
For his entire NFL career, which spanned all of, and only, the 1968 season, his stat line was 1 carry for 4 yards. That's his entire NFL statline. Anyone remember this guy. Know what his story was? Anything?
Now tell me who you got.
EDIT: Found an interesting bit of information about ole Teddy. He changed his name to Sultan Salaam and quite interestingly, fathered a son who would become a 1st rd pick by the Chicago Bears named Rashaan Salaam.
