LSU's first player drafted also never played professionally. The first one who did wasn't too shabby either. Lizard (talk) 03:04, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Cy Williams was UF's first NFL player, nearly a decade before Mayberry. Cake (talk) 03:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This article from Sept. 1938 says he took a coaching position rather than play with the Rams. See also this and this. Cbl62 (talk) 03:13, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Cbl. There's a "Mayberry Quits Gridiron" article behind a paywall from the Palm Beach Post. Cake (talk) 03:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Here it is. Cbl62 (talk) 13:26, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Doubly thanks! Was just lamenting and not expecting the magic. Cake (talk) 15:03, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
