More likely in Playboy than the New Yorker I would wager.

And Kenny Hilliard, RB, out of LSU is our final pick.

Now to the UDFA group.

Neither. Some sort of sports magazine. Famed cartoonist Jack Davis was the illustrator and I want to say the cartoon was called SuperFan.

Wikipedia says only this: "Superfan", a 1970s comic strip in Pro Quarterback magazine by Nick Meglin and Jack Davis, later collected in a 1972 paperback published by Signet Books.

Looks like the book used to be on Amazon:

If I'm not mistaken, SuperFan appeared and talked the coaches into drafting a mule who could nail 70-yd field goals with his back leg.

Pro Quarterback magazine I believe was the souvenir game program you bought back in the day and the NFL later renamed it simply "Pro" but it had written features to go with game rosters and photos.

ESPN had thumbs up/thumbs down from their beat reporters for each team. Amazingly 29 teams received a thumbs up. Is there anything more useless than a reporter who covers one team. They are PR guys that are afraid of saying anything bad because they don't want to lose access.

I really wish we could get decent coverage of the Texans (Or any Houston team for that matter. The Astros are in the middle of the longest winning streak in Baseball and nobody cares but the Chronicle hacks).
