2000 NFL draft

The 2000 NFL draft was the procedure by which National Football League teams selected amateur U.S. college football players. It is officially known as the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting. The draft was held April 15–16, 2000, at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. No teams chose to claim any players in the supplemental draft that year. The draft started with Penn State teammates Courtney Brown and LaVar Arrington being selected consecutively, making them the only Penn State players to go number one and two in the same draft. The New York Jets had four first-round draft picks, the most by any team in the history of the draft (17 teams have had three picks but no other has had four). The draft was notable for the selection of Michigan quarterback Tom Brady at the 199th pick in the sixth round by the New England Patriots. In his 23 seasons in the NFL, Brady won a record seven Super Bowl titles (six with the Patriots, one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), three NFL MVP awards, and a record five Super Bowl MVPs. As a result of his late selection and subsequent success, Brady is considered to be the biggest steal in the history of the NFL draft. It was also the first year since 1966 that a pure placekicker was drafted in the first round, with the Oakland Raiders selecting Florida State's Sebastian Janikowski 17th overall. The University of Tennessee led all colleges with nine selections in the 2000 draft.

Hall of Famers

[edit]

• Brian Urlacher, linebacker from New Mexico, taken 1st round 9th overall by the Chicago Bears.

Inducted: Professional Football Hall of Fame Class of 2018.

• Note: While Tom Brady has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame as of March 2026, it's a fair estimation that he will earn that honor the 1st time he appears on the ballot for the Class of 2027. Just a hunch.
