Brian Bosworth - LB, Supplemental Draft, Seattle Seahawks, 1987
After Bosworth won the Butkus Award twice at Oklahoma, the Seahawks selected him in the 1987 supplemental draft and signed him to a 10-year, $11 million deal. With his funky haircuts and his "Boz" attitude, he was supposed to redefine the linebacker position. But injuries limited him to a disappointing three-year career. The NFL's loss was Hollywood's gain. Bosworth delivered a subtle and moving performance in Stone Cold and appeared in the remake of The Longest Yard.
