Question

What player started for a college basketball team that won the NCAA tournament (finishing the season undefeated) and less than two weeks after that basketball championship game was selected in the NFL draft?

Answer

Quinn Buckner. He was a starter for the Indiana basketball team in 1976, and Washington selected him in the 14th round of the draft, hoping he would opt to try to make it as a defensive back in the NFL. Buckner was the 7th pick of the NBA draft, by the Milwaukee Bucks, and played 11 seasons in that league.
