1998 NFL Draft

The 1998 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur college football players. It is officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting. The draft was held April 18–19, 1998, at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.[1][2] The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season.

Hall of Famers

Before the draft, there was much debate in the media on if the Indianapolis Colts would select Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf, both of whom were considered excellent prospects and future franchise quarterbacks, with the first overall pick. Leaf was considered to have more upside and a stronger throwing arm, while Manning was considered a prospect who was NFL ready and more mature.

On the day of the draft, the Colts selected Manning due to Leaf's disdain for Indianapolis. Manning went on to be a five-time Most Valuable Player award[3] winner, the most of any player in NFL history, and a two-time Super Bowl champion, whereas Leaf, who was selected second overall by the San Diego Chargers, was out of the NFL by 2002, and is considered one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history.[4]

Until their retirements following the 2015 season, the last remaining active players from the 1998 draft were quarterback Peyton Manning (the first overall pick) and cornerback Charles Woodson (the fourth overall pick). Both would go on to win Super Bowls in their careers; Manning in 2006 and 2015 with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos, and Woodson in 2010 with the Green Bay Packers.
