    Not sure in proper context if he would be considered a draft steal despite his incredible collegiate career because of his service he had to spend. Just imagine if Bradford or Suh, clearly dominant college players, were having to spend 4 years in the service, I don't think there's anyway they would even be drafted. Just sayin... not that it isn't a cool thread and attempting to derail it.

    Super Bowls XVI, XIX, XXIII, and XXIV.

    Considered one of the greatest passers in the history of the NFL, he wasn’t drafted by the Chargers until the third round (84th overall) of the 1973 NFL Draft:

    This guy wasn't too bad as a player either:

    While he was an All-American receiver at the University of Tulsa, he wasn’t selected by the Houston Oilers until the fourth round (117th overall) of the 1976 NFL Draft. With preseason winding down, the Oilers were going to cut him, but the Seattle Seahawks ended up trading a 1977 eighth-round pick in exchange for his services.

    He went on to spend 13 seasons with the Seahawks, being voted to the Pro Bowl seven times. Upon his retirement, he held every major receiving record in the NFL, including most receptions (819), most touchdown receptions (100) and most receiving yards (13,089). In 1995, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    A 62nd-round draft choice selected mainly as a personal favor to Los Angeles Dodgers' manager Tommy Lasorda

    don't have a scan yet, but a recent draft steal that comes to mind is Marques Colston.
