Covering off this year’s 30 for 30 documentary, it seems fitting to show how ESPN covered the 1983 draft.

Interesting to note at the top, Paul Zimmerman and Howard Balzer speculated about who would complete the trade for the Baltimore Colts’ No. 1 pick and thus get John Elway. Denver only gets mentioned as “a late entry.”

Then watch the stormy reaction when Pete Rozelle announces the Colts took Elway. The analysts include Bud Wilkinson.

Sorry about the quality of this clip, but still worth watching.
