Fathead, the company that produces life-size wall graphics of sports and entertainment stars, will create a wall graphic of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. This will also mark the first time an athlete is named a Fathead before playing a single game as a professional athlete. Current frontrunners for the honor are wide receiver Calvin Johnson, running back Adrian Peterson, quarterbacks Brady Quinn and JaMarcus Russell and offensive tackle Joe Thomas. The 2007 NFL Draft is April 28-29 in New York, N.Y. There have been only three players to have earned Fathead status as rookies, all from the 2006 NFL Draft Class: New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart and Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young, the 2006 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. “The NFL Draft has become a must-see event on every football fan’s calendar. It only makes sense that we celebrate this event and honor the top selection with a Fathead,” said Brock Weatherup, Chief Executive Officer, Fathead, LLC. “This player will be in great company. We offer 51 past and present NFL players, including more than 40 players who have played in at least one Pro Bowl.” The No. 1 overall pick’s Fathead will be available in September. Quarterbacks Peyton Manning (1998), Michael Vick (2001), Carson Palmer (2003), Eli Manning (2004) and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman (1989) are other Fatheads who have been selected first overall in the NFL Draft. Fatheads are printed on thick, high-grade vinyl with a low-tack adhesive that sticks to almost any wall. Fathead player graphics are approximately 6 feet tall by 3 feet wide. These big, bold, colorful graphics have a 3-D look and appear as if the image is jumping off the wall. Football helmets are approximately 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide. Fatheads can be purchased on the company’s Web site, www.fathead.com, or by calling 1-877-FATHEAD.

    University of Nevada, Reno Quarterback Value Forecasting and Fixing the NFL Draft’s Market Failure A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Economics by Trevor M. Wojcik Dr. Mark Nichols/Thesis Advisor December, 2010 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by TREVOR MICHAEL WOJCIK entitled Quarterback Value Forecasting And Fixing The NFL Draft’s Market Failure be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Mark Nichols, Phd, Advisor Sankar Mukhopadhyay, Phd, Committee Member Rahul Bhargava, Phd, Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Associate Dean, Graduate School December, 2010 i Abstract The National Football League (NFL) is a business that is worth nearly $7 billion annually in revenue. That makes it the largest money making sport in the United States. The revenue earned by each franchise is dependent upon the repeated success of the team. A commonly held belief is that for a franchise to be successful you must have an elite Quarterback. This thesis uses NFL data and for the 2000-2008 seasons to determine the role that Quarterback performance plays in team success. With the determination that Quarterbacks are important to NFL team success the question becomes how does a franchise effectively obtain the best player. The NFL player draft is the most commonly used method for teams to find their Quarterback of the future. The problem is that the success rate for drafting Quarterbacks is very low. In this thesis I have determined a more statistical approach to determining whether a drafted Quarterback will be successful.

Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.

Connecticut Law Review. 38. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review/38 CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 41 JULY 2009 NUMBER 5 Note FOURTH AND SHORT ON EQUALITY: THE DISPARATE IMPACT OF THE NFL’S USE OF THE WONDERLIC INTELLIGENCE TEST AND THE CASE FOR A FOOTBALL-SPECIFIC TEST CHRISTOPHER HATCH Prior to being selected in the NFL draft, a player must undergo a series of physical and mental evaluations, including the Wonderlic Intelligence Test. The twelve-minute test, which measures “cognitive ability,” has been shown to have a disparate impact on minorities in various employment situations. This Note contends that the NFL’s use of the Wonderlic also has a disparate impact because of its effect on a player’s draft status and ultimately his salary. The test cannot be justified by business necessity because there is no correlation between a player’s Wonderlic score and their on-field performance. As such, this Note calls for the creation of a football-specific intelligence test that would be less likely to have a disparate impact than the Wonderlic, while also being sufficiently job-related and more reliable in predicting a player’s success.
