The FUNNIEST NFL DRAFT MOMENT in Buffalo Bills HISTORY | J.D. Hill
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 02. 2022
- At the 1971 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills selected Arizona State wide receiver J.D. Hill with the 4th overall pick, making him the first non-QB taken off of the board. The only problem? Hill had no idea until three days later that the Bills drafted him, and the way that he found out was truly hysterical and unexpected. This is the story behind what might be the funniest and strangest moment at the NFL Draft in the history of the Bills franchise

"before doing other things"
A couple of things I never knew: JD was the father of Lonzell...and got somebody knocked up in high school because Lonzell was born before JDs 17th birthday 😯 Also, JD had another son Kahlil who had a brief stint in the NFL, born 14 years after Lonzell 😲
Terry Metcalf was 15 when son Eric was born.
@@NosferatusCoffin I can't imagine going to college with a child that I fathered years before even getting in 😯
Remember in 1971 no internet no cell phones no cable tv I was 5 and had to walk up hill both ways to school 🏫 😉
And the world was a better place, with people actually being a lot smarter than now despite having access to far less info. Go figure.
Even though I was an infant when this took place, I've read in history books that telephones were commonly used as a method of communication during that year and in years prior.
Matthew Daley's brother? Hmmm...
@@DolFan316 Ha ha. I have seen his replies and actually do have a brother named Matt (though the commenter is not him)
The Bills used to run the ball 500-600x a year and only pass 200-250x so 25-50 receptions were actually pretty impressive
It’s funny because Josh Allen probably throws the ball 200 times in 4 or 5 games
The draft was a little known thing until espn started broadcasting it and it really didn’t take off until the mid 80s. Even then it was on weekday mornings. I remember this because my mom would let me call off to school to watch it when I was a kid .
@@matthewdaley746 correctly?? It is a high ratings show for tv now so they and you are wrong
@@matthewdaley746 sure I am the one being pedantic 🙄
I was thinking this was going to end with the Bills coming to his home, taking him away in handcuffs and charging him with draft evasion. 😁
One of the clips you showed was O.J Simpson throwing a TD pass to Hill. That got me wondering about O.J. as a passer. It turns out that in 1972 he attempted EIGHT (8) passes, completing five for that one TD and no INTs. O.J. attempted passes (or got sacked) in six of the Bills fourteen games, including one game where he attempted THREE (3) passes. There has GOT to be a story there as to why a RB attempted 3 passes in one game (and 8 in one season when he only attempted 16 his whole career).
I agree, what's the story there? The downside is, who wants to hear about a Simpson story?
@@Saltiren I can only imagine the little jabs that JG9 will throw in a story about O.J. (See what I did there?).
I just watched the NFL films on that one (it was vs. New England.) They were just halfback option passes. Dennis Shaw was a really lousy passing QB, so while OJ didn't have a killer arm (yet) they must have been taking a stab at bolstering the offense by letting him slice a few through the air.
He mentioned that O.J. did “other things” besides rushing. I don’t think he was referring to passing, however.
@@jmlapedis49 I think we can be confident that JG9 would kill it when covering that discrepancy.
It finally happened we get to click the card in the upper right corner before the video even begins!
J.D. Hill was drafted to compliment Marlin Briscoe and Haven Moses with Dennis Shaw at QB. Briscoe ended up in Miami and was a part of the 72 17-0 team and Moses was sent to Denver. Hill main partner was WR was Bob Chandler. In the early 70s, the Bills had a pair of solid WRs for Fergy to throw to.
Back then 3 WR formations were unheard of, and most teams didn't even have two good ones period. Drafting a WR high was a waste unless a team planned on him starting right away. RBs on the other hand had far more value in the '70s since teams ran so much that even if a guy was part of a committee he'd at least get regular playing time as opposed to a team's third WR who'd be glued to the bench unless injuries struck.
This would never happen today.
Dude you are SO underrated!!
Well I can see this happening this was even before cable TV let alone the internet and if you were not home no one would be able to get a hold of to let you know you were drafted. Players would not have agents at this time. Since the draft was held in NY and Hill was in CA, They would have a hard time finding him. Also NFL was not the big money league it is now. I'm guessing especially a smaller market team like Buffalo would not have the resources to track him down. They figured they would find him at home at some point or he would contact him that. However since Hill had forgotten it was draft time it is entirely conceivable for him not to know.. The draft wasn't televised then. It would n't be televised till 1980. It was truly a completely different world then. In 1971 I could see this happening.
I think the days when people didn't have 24/7 news and info access were a lot better. Now people know everything about everyone else...and have never been more blindly ignorant.
And we know what those "other things" were
Acting & sideline reporting.
@@jamesage24 yep, amongst other stuff
Acting, duh. Everyone knows that
"before doing other things."
Man...what an understatement.
"Well J. D. kind of forgot about the NFL draft and Buffalo's coaches, but they certainly didn't forget about him."
Super slow clap for you
After his first 2 years, J.D. Hill got screwed by the Bills all-OJ-all-the-time offense. They really wasted his career. I've always put him up there with Terry Miller as the Bills who's careers were most wasted by the team.
How was Terry Miller's career wasted?
I'm writing the life story of JD hill titled Go Long. This is a great story!
Wacky Bills Week on JG9?
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about how the team with the 5th pick that year, Philadelphia, tried to get a quarterback that year.
Question, during the banquet Scott talked about the president of the Bills calling him and to say welcome to the team basically, why didn't he call J.D. Hill too? Or why did no one try to call him or reach out to him? I understand he was out of town its the 70's so he may have missed the call but didn't anyone in the front office stop to think, hey maybe we could try to find his parents or other family to try to track him down. Just wondering.
Those "other things" that the RB from USC did include starring in Hertz commercials and Naked Gun movies. Nothing else comes to mind.
Harvey Johnson was the coach then. He was a more pass happy coach, that, in spite of having O.J., simply did not utilize him much or correctly. After three seasons of this and especially cratering in '71, where the Bills finished 1-13 and were dead last in both offense and defense, O.J. seriously contemplated retirement. Until Lou Saban came back to Buffalo and promised O.J he would build a line for him (which became The Electric Company) and give him the ball much more. O.J. said, "Lou Saban saved my career".
It is also not a coincidence that J.D. had his best seasons during those Saban years and along with Bob Chandler (a criminally underrated receiver) and of course having O.J. and Jim Braxton, by 1975 the Bills had the most dangerous and explosive offense in the NFL. Until injuries and terrible trades wrecked them in 1976. What might have been, had those not happened. (in spite of a porous defense).
'75 Bills were the only NFL offense of the '70s to average 30 points per game (they hit it right on the nose). The big difference between '73 when OJ had his 2000-yard rushing season and '75 was the passing game, which was as nonexistent as an NFL team could have in '73 even by the standards of that era. OJ actually had a much better season in '75 by both real life and fantasy standards, and if the analytics community existed back then they'd have collectively creamed their pants over it.
@@DolFan316 Maybe the most amazing stat of OJ's '75 season was that he caught 7 TD passes. Very rare for a RB to have that many. Even RBs like Foreman, Mitchell, Galbreath or Payton I do not think ever had that many.
Also, Braxton had over 800 yards and 9 TDs. That team was loaded.
I think it is cool that a wide receiver wore #40.
By coincidence, that's the number on my personalized Bills jersey. The three Bills who wore it consistantly was Ed Rutkowski, J.D. Hill and Robb Riddick.
I watched J.D. Hill and Bob Chandler play catch at camp. Chandler was a decathlon athlete and the Bills disaster quarterback. The challenge was on. Each player throwing bullets at the other. You quickly realized Hill may have had the best arm on the team. As hard as Chandler would throw at Hill, Hill never used two hands to catch the ball. Instead he caught it like a softball - One handed, and with either hand!
- Chandler just trying not to hurt himself catching Elway-like bullets from Hill.
- forget that Hill was also world class fast.....
Your reference to OJ playing "before doing other things". Hmmm, like...?
At 0:46, the voice over cuts out
Yeah some sorta audio error
That's odd. Didn't do that when I exported, but that's happened for each of the last two Tuesday videos. Might have to change the project folder I work on (since I have seven folders for seven days of the week) because that is bizarre
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 thanks for troubleshooting JG9! Good luck on the issue, at least it isn't that bad lol
IDK if you can say a WR had a good career if he was taken #4 overall in a draft, and finished 10th in receptions, 8th in yards and tied for 7th in receiving TDs among players from that draft. Bills 7th rounder Bob Chandler actually wound up with far better numbers in each category. Even 17th rounder Randy Vataha, who played as long as Hill, had more catches, yards and TDs. I totally get the hype if Hill's college career was as advertised but he ultimately turned out to be a miss. Also from that draft 7th rounder Harold Carmichael made the Hall Of Fame.
He also played most of his career on a team with O.J. Simpson who was one of the best RBs of the 1970s so they probably didnt throw the ball a lot in Buffalo.
If people wonder why there's not much footage of college football pre 80s there's more reasons. Before the Georgia/Oklahoma Supreme Court Case the NCAA heavily regulated televised college football. Very few to no teams could have more than a couple games televised. So the only thing you have is university camera footage that they would have to keep pre 1980s for the most part. Before 1977 VHS didn't exist so recording games at all is already difficult but there has been some kinescope recordings and stations that got games out there.
The 2nd part is why so much of TV before the 80s is rare. When VHS was introduced in America you had to pay around 1500 for it and tapes were around 90 bucks each.
Of course, these days he would be on TV and everyone would have known and seen him accept his new jersey. Back then there were more shenanigans that could happen. Just ask the local hockey team about the 183rd pick of the 1974 NHL Draft...
greatest Japanese hockey player of all time
And the story behind that something else.
mrmoose You WATCH YOUR MOUTH about the GREAT Buffalo Sabres....
LIVE NFL TRIVIA EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON TWITCH!!! TEST YOUR FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE and win CASH PRIZES. Anyway FINALLY a video involving a GREAT football team that ISN'T a 39.6. NO ONE on the Buffalo Bills should EVER SPIKE the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!!! J.D. Hill was a GREAT Wide Receiver. He WASN'T too BRIGHT though. He SHOULD have FIGURED OUT that when the GREAT BUFFALO BILLS had invited HIM to training camp that they had DRAFTED him.
Dam Al Cowlings was a rookie in 1970
Have you done any videos on the Vikings letting the clock run out with their first round pick in consecutive years in the early 2000s? I think it was either 02 and 03, or 03 and 04...can't remember exactly which 2 years it was...and one of the two cases turned out to be a moot point because one of the players drafted under those circumstances was Kevin Williams.
Ha never knew this.
51 Years Ago
"Before doing other things".... about OJ Simpson.... funny statement... I'm not laughing at the death of others, specifically murder..... however, in the context of what you said and WHAT it meant... that was funny.
Why couldn't JG9 just cut to the chase? You're welcome.
Why are your videos so long? It keeps me from clicking them. You could get the same message and entertainment value in half the time.
Proud to say i had 3 players in the NFL
Proud of uncle jd
If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.
I don’t know that ASU played in the wac I always thought they played in pac 12 at the very being of the pac 12 conference
... drafted in absentia ...
They were the worst team in football…. But buffalo fans are insane about football… they’ll walk in blizzard conditions to games and sit waist high in snow till the last second to watch the buffalo get slaughtered every game … but beer was cheap and guys weren’t picky so lots of women got lucky every Sunday … unfortunately many single overweight moms ended up twice broken hearted. … one over the winless bills . And then without a man until next season!
Why cant Briscoe get an MVP vote according to you. If he had a good season worth of MVP, then he can get votes. And thank god we didnt got to hear your 39.6 crap. You keep cagating things bulto.
Thought it was oj *clicked, realized its not oj* thumbs down and am about to click out
... drafted in absentia ...
