Note: From 1960–1966, the American Football League (AFL), a competitor to the NFL, drafted picks competitively against the NFL. Due to the competitive nature of the two drafts during this era, some players were drafted by both AFL and NFL teams and are thus listed twice. Additionally, the rounds and pick numbers for these selections correspond to selections in their respective AFL drafts. Many of the teams are now NFL teams, they were not at the time of selection; the AFL merged into the NFL into one league in 1969.
