Question

Who were the last two players to be selected twice in NFL drafts? Oddly, these guys both attended the University of Miami, and were on the team at the same time. One was drafted in 1988 and 1989; the other was drafted in 1991 and 1992.

Answer

Melvin Bratton and Craig Erickson. Bratton, a running back, injured his knee in the 1987 national championship game. He was selected in the 6th round by Miami, didn’t sign, than was selected in the 7th round the next year by Denver. If not for his knee injury, he probably would have been a first-round pick. Erickson also injured his knee prior to his initial draft. He was selected in the 5th round by the Eagles in 1991, and the 4th round by the Bucs a year later.
