Episode 40: The 1983 NFL Draft.
Welcome to GenX Classic Sports, the podcast where we revisit the unforgettable moments that shaped our sports memories growing up. Today we’re going back to the fall of 1970 — when pro football took a huge leap from Sunday afternoons to prime time.
In 1983, the NFL held a draft that would change the game forever. John Elway, Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Eric Dickerson, Bruce Matthews — all in one legendary class. From Elway’s standoff with the Colts to Marino’s shocking slide down the board, the ’83 Draft was loaded with drama, defiance, and destiny.
In this episode of GenX Classic Sports, we relive the stories, the rivalries, and the ripple effects of the most talent-packed draft in NFL history — a day that shaped football for the next two decades.
