Each NFL team’s best ever 1st-round draft pick

123. <p>In 1975, the Dallas Cowboys traded quarterback Craig Morton to the Giants for the No. 2 overall pick. And with that pick, the Cowboys would select defensive end Randy White out of Maryland. The Cowboys then immediately moved White to middle linebacker, where he backed up Lee Roy Jordan for two years.</p> <p>Then in year three, White was moved to defensive tackle and his legendary career would take off. He would go on to earn the nickname “Manster” for being half man, half monster on the field. At 6’4″, 260 pounds, he was the strongest player in the NFL for most of his career and ran 4.6 40.</p> <p>His strength showed as he dominated the line of scrimmage, moving opposing offensive lineman back. Part of his legend is built on opposing offensive lineman’s inability to knock him off his feet, even when clipping. White once peeled off and caught a receiver from behind 49 yards downfield after rushing the passer to show his speed.</p> <p>The “Manster” helped the Cowboys make it to three Super Bowls to win one of them in his 14 years. On the way to the Hall of Fame, he was a 7-time All-Pro and a 9-time Pro Bowl player. You have to put him right up there with Reggie White when talking about the most dominant defensive lineman ever.</p>. DL. Maryland. Randy White. '75. player
