1989 NFL Draft Top 5 Picks - One of These is Not Like The Others

One of these is not like the others. Four of the first five selections in the 1989 NFL Draft went on to achieve Hall of Fame Caliber Careers. QB Troy Aikman, RB Barry Sanders, LB Derrick Thomas, and CB Deion Sanders each earned a Gold Jacket for their amazing football accolades.

Towering Left Tackle Tony Mandarich, selected 2nd by Green Bay, failed to produce, and is considered one of the NFL’s biggest Draft Busts. He did have some solid years later in his career with the Colts.
