The Colts, who used the pick to select John Elway from Stanford. They later traded Elway to Denver after the quarterback threatened to play baseball instead of joining the lowly Colts.
After graduating from Stanford, Elway was a highly coveted athlete in both football and baseball. In 1983, the Baltimore Colts were among the NFL's worst teams, having compiled a 19-53-1 record from 1978-1982. Elway didn't have the desire to play for such a downtrodden franchise, and Elway's father also advised his son not to play for the Colts' head coach Frank Kush. Elway tried negotiating a way out of Baltimore, but after failing to engineer a trade, his agent began circulating rumors that Elway would happily play baseball for the New York Yankees (who had drafted Elway in the 2nd round of the 1981 MLB draft) rather than suit up for the Colts. Eventually the Colts and Denver came to terms on a trade and Elway became a Hall-of-Fame signal-caller for the Broncos.
John Elway was drafted by the Baltimore Colts as the first overall pick in the 1983 NFL Draft. Born on June 28, 1960, he was 22 years old at the time of the draft. Elway later chose to play for the Denver Broncos after a trade, where he became a legendary quarterback.
