Oklahoma football: Top 10 Sooner first-round NFL Draft picks
By Chip Rouse
No. 10 – QB Sam Bradford, No. 1 overall in 2010 NFL Draft
Sam Bradford is one of three former Oklahoma players to be drafted No. 1 overall in the regular NFL Draft (Billy Sims in 1980 and Lee Roy Selmon in 1976 are the other two). He and Baker Mayfield rank one and two in the record book among all-time OU quarterbacks.
Bradford, who was drafted by the St. Louis Rams, has played eight seasons in the NFL. His first five seasons were in St. Louis, although injuries limited him to just seven games in 2013 and he missed the entire 2014 season with a knee injury.
He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015. He started 14 games for the Eagles, throwing for 3,725 yards, 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The following season he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. He started 15 games for the Vikings in 2016 but played just two games in 2017 before suffering another season-ending knee injury.
In March, Bradford signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals. In his eight-year NFL career, Bradford has passed for over 19,000 yards, completed 62.5 percent of his passes and thrown 101 touchdown passes along with 57 interceptions.
