Halfback Kyle Rote from Southern Methodist University was the number one pick in the 1951 draft. He was drafted by the New York Giants.

In 1950* Kyle was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. He ran, passed, and kicked. Once he had a punt that went 84 yards that is the longest punt in NCAA history.

He had an eleven year NFL career. He went to four Pro Bowls and is in the College Football Hall of Fame.

* Note: the NFL draft is in the spring after the college season; so, for instance, the 1990 draft corresponds to the 1989 season.
