  • When Halas Cornered the Draft
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) WHEN HALAS CORNERED THE DRAFT By Bob Carroll When it came time to hold the National Football League's annual draft for the 1941 season, the system was still in flux. Previously, five annual drafts had come and gone, starting with the 1936 season when each NFL club chose nine potential stars from that year's crop of graduating collegians. For 1941, each of the ten teams would choose 20 players. At the time, the draft was not nearly the Must-See-TV National Event it has become in this age, but it was more than an afterthought. An account of the draft usually made the first page of the sports section in those cities with league teams. And, despite all those stories about club owners walking into the meeting armed only with dog-eared copies of Street and Smith magazines, scouting wasn't quite that primitive. At least not for the better teams. Throughout the 1940 season, the names of college stars had been submitted to the league until there was a roster of about 400 young football players to be picked from. Some of those names came from news accounts of college games in the Sunday papers, but teams like the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers very likely had sent someone to actually look at most of the better players in their geographical areas. Moreover, as well-established, longtime winners, they had former players all over the country who tipped them to superior college players in out-of-the-way nooks.
