RB Bo Jackson, 1986 First Round, Auburn

The year 1986 was a banner draft year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Not only did they draft Rod "Toast" Jones with their second first-round pick, they used the No. 1 overall choice on Auburn legendary running back Bo Jackson.

The only problem is Bo Jackson told the Buccaneers before the draft that he would never play for the team and would rather go play baseball.

Yet the Bucs decided to draft Jackson anyway. Bo stayed true to his word and went to the major leagues with the Kansas City Royals.

Tampa Bay owner Hugh Culverhouse refused to accept defeat and continued to try to sign Jackson all the way to the 1987 draft, when the team's rights to Jackson expired.

The Bucs never traded away his rights and ended up getting nothing for the first overall pick.

Bo would eventually join the league, playing four years for the Raiders.
