Question of the Day: Chris Hinton and the 1983 NFL Draft
November 25, 2019
Test your NFL Draft history with this trivia question about the famous 1983 trade involving Chris Hinton and a Hall of Fame quarterback.
The 1983 NFL Draft featured one of the most significant trades in league history. The Denver Broncos traded the fourth overall pick, which became offensive lineman Chris Hinton, along with quarterback Mark Herrmann and a future first-round pick to the Baltimore Colts for the rights to quarterback John Elway.
Elway had refused to play for the Colts, forcing the trade that would reshape both franchises. While Elway went on to a Hall of Fame career with the Broncos, Hinton became a seven-time Pro Bowl selection for the Colts, later renamed the Indianapolis Colts. This Question of the Day tests knowledge of one of the NFL's landmark draft-day deals.
