Vick was the second fullback selected in the first round of the 1987 NFL draft, after Alonzo Highsmith who was drafted third overall by the Houston Oilers.2 The selection of Vick is a notable moment in draft history, primarily due to the audible outburst of despair made by a fan in attendance.
Pete Rozelle: "The New York Jets' first round selection, fullback-"
Unnamed fan: "OH NO!"
