That 1983 NFL draft was special ¨C not only for me as a seventh-round pick but for all football fans because of the talent across the board. A lot of great players at several positions (Eric Dickerson, Bruce Matthews, Darrell Green and so on) came out of that draft, but people remember it mostly because of the six first-round quarterbacks, including three (John Elway, Jim Kelly and No. 27 pick Dan Marino) who became superstars. Quarterbacks also will steal the show at this month's draft. Sure, the 2004 draft has a lot of depth and talent at wide receiver. But this draft will be judged by the ultimate successes or struggles of the three marquee signal callers: Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger. I voted for Manning to win the Heisman Trophy last season. Roethlisberger has all the credentials in the world. I think both are great. ADVERTISEMENT But the truth is that Rivers has proven in tall company that he is the best guy on the field ¨C in the huddle, running, reading defenses, you name it.
