History

Historical Context

When the Buffalo Bills selected Heisman winner O.J. Simpson first overall in the 1969 draft, his 2,003-yard 1973 season cemented the rookie running back as a draft centerpiece. That legacy makes the draft a valuation tool still used in 2026, where ESPN projects rookie Jeremiah Love to be a major contributor, echoing the league’s long-standing first-pick hype.
