Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

Philadelphia Eagles. Reggie White*. 24. player. 54. <p>This comes with an asterisk because Reggie White was taken with the fourth pick in the 1984 supplemental draft after playing for the Memphis Showboats of the USFL. The supplemental draft at that time isn’t what we think of it today where it’s player(s) who aren’t top prospects and are generally ones who were dismissed from their team.</p> <p>White’s supplemental draft class was better than the actual draft with a pair of Hall of Famers in Steve Young and Gary Zimmerman who went first and third, respectively, and former Heisman winner Mike Rozier going second.</p> <p>White went on to a Hall of Fame career himself with the Philadelphia Eagles where he played the first eight of his 16 years in the NFL. White was a force at defensive tackle and later at end. The Minister of Defense had at least 11 sacks in every season with the Eagles.</p> <p>He was a 13-time Pro Bowler and made the first seven of his eight first-team All-Pro teams with the Eagles, including the 1987 season when he won his first of two Defensive Player of the Year Awards when he led the NFL with a career-high 21 sacks.</p> <p>White finished his Eagles career with 124 sacks in eight years and retired as the all-time sack leader with 198, but is now second to Bruce Smith who has 200.</p>.
