2001: Josh Booty
Josh Booty was taken as the 177th pick (sixth round) of the 2001 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. The choice came after a baseball career that saw Bootly drafted fifth pick overall in the first round of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft (1994). The Marlins reportedly paid him $1.6 million, a the-draft signing bonus record, if he did not play football in the duration of his contract, but he eventually decided to pursue a career in pro football.
