S2E8 Elway to Marino

The episode delves into the 1983 NFL Draft, focusing on the six quarterbacks chosen in the first round, particularly John Elway, the number one pick, and Dan Marino, who was the last quarterback selected. Martin Demoff, the agent for both players, provides insights from a personal diary documenting teams' interests in these future Hall of Famers. The narrative highlights the Baltimore Colts' dilemma over whether to draft Elway or trade their pick, as well as Marino's draft stock decline after a less impressive senior year and swirling rumors about his recreational drug use.
