NFL Draft
 < 2000 2002 > 

The National Football League Draft is an annual event in which the professional American football teams of the National Football League (NFL) select eligible college football players. The draft is the league's main source of player recruitment. Each team is given a position in the drafting order based on its record in the previous season, with the team with the poorest record being placed first. In each of the draft's rounds, each team can either select a player, trade their position to another team for other draft positions, a player or players, or any combination thereof. The 2001 Draft took place on April 21–22, 2001 at the theater at Madison Square Garden, in New York City. This was the 66th NFL draft in league history.[1] The draft was broadcast on ESPN both days and eventually moved to ESPN2.[1] No teams elected to claim any players in the supplemental draft that year. The first round featured sixteen players who would eventually be elected to at least one Pro Bowl. Additionally, six drafted players were elected to the Pro Bowl as wide receivers. By comparison, the 2000 draft and 2002 draft had one player apiece.

The first player selected in the draft was quarterback Michael Vick from Virginia Tech, who was selected by the Atlanta Falcons.[2] Vick spent six successful seasons with the Falcons before being sentenced to 21 months in prison for his involvement in an illegal interstate dog fighting ring that had operated for five years. After his release from jail he restarted his professional football career with the Philadelphia Eagles.[3] Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke, the 2000 winner of the Heisman Trophy, awarded to the player deemed most outstanding in college football,[4] was selected in the fourth round by the Carolina Panthers. Weinke's NFL career was considered extremely disappointing. After being a regular starter for the Panthers in his first season, during which Carolina posted a 1–15 record, he then played only 12 games over the next five seasons before being released.[5] The last player selected, who traditionally receives the unofficial title Mr. Irrelevant, was Tevita Ofahengaue of Brigham Young University, who was chosen by the Arizona Cardinals. Ofahengaue never played in the NFL and in 2011 was charged with stealing gasoline from a construction company in Salt Lake City.[6]

There were 31 compensatory selections distributed among 16 teams during rounds three through seven, with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills receiving 4 picks each.[1] The University of Miami was the college with the most players selected in the first round, with Dan Morgan, Damione Lewis, Santana Moss and Reggie Wayne all picked at that stage. Across the whole draft, however, Florida State University had the most players selected, a total of nine compared to Miami's seven.[7]
