One final trivia note - Minnesota selected Daunte Culpepper with the 11th pick in that draft.

yeah, several people here said the same about Green. I remember somebody put up a thread asking which ex skin was missed the most. I agree that Green could've been the franchise qb, but he left for a few reasons, he got to go home to Mizz. & play for St. Louis, and the ownership situation was in limbo here.
