Tom Tupa
During the 1988 NFL Draft, the 1st Quarterback wasn’t selected until pick # 68! A Draft Record.
Free Blaze Issue goes to the draft guru who can name the top two QB’s taken that year at picks 68 & 76 respectively?
**Bonus points if you can tell us the Duke Blue Devil who was the last QB taken that year. And by which team?
For today’s Throwback Thursday we’re going back to Week 1 of the 1994 NFL Season. During a Cleveland Browns & Cincinnati Bengals battle, our dude Tommy Tupa grabs the distinction of being the first player in NFL History to score a 2 point conversion. The 2 point rule had just been adopted that season, and Tom & The Browns took advantage of it. He would run in three extra point attempts for Two that year earning himself the nickname of ‘Two Point Tupa.’ Happy Birthday Tom!
