“40 years ago, Irving Fryar was taken with the first pick of the 1984 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. He was the second-ever WR selected with the No. 1 overall pick in NFL history, and he remains one of just three WRs drafted with the top overall selection. Name the other two WRs taken No. 1 overall and the team that selected them.”

Answers:
Dave Parks – San Francisco 49ers – 1964 NFL Draft (Texas Tech)*
Keyshawn Johnson – New York Jets – 1996 NFL Draft (USC)
*Not an asterisk to the all-time accomplishment, just a note: Parks was officially listed as a split end. The transition to using the term “wide receiver” instead of “split end” and “flanker” was gradually made during the 1970s and 80s. (According to ~5 minutes of research, per the Google machine.)
