That's right!
The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Louisiana Tech quarterback Terry Bradshaw with the 1st overall pick of the 1970 NFL draft. The Steelers were fortunate, as they had to flip a coin with the Chicago Bears to determine who would get the first pick. Bradshaw would go on to become the first quarterback to lead his team to four Super Bowl victories (1975-76 & 1979-80). He retired after the 1983 season with 27,989 career passing yards, 212 touchdowns, and a passer rating of 70.9. Terry Bradshaw was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1989, along with Steelers teammate Mel Blount.
