Four quarterbacks taken in 1st round
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL
draft became a quarterback auction
Tuesday as teams seeking help at
football’s most critical position
reached for question marks in hopes
of pulling another Joe Montana or
Dan Fonts out of a thin talent pool.
Four quarterbacks were chosen on
the first round, the most since the
talent-laden 1983 draft. But only
Heisman Trophy winner Vinny Tes-
taverde of Miami was considered a
sure NFL star.
The other three — Kelly Stouffer
of Colorado State, chosen by St.
Louis; Chris Miller of Oregon, taken
by Atlanta, and Jim Harbaugh of
Michigan, taken in a shocking move
by the Chicago Bears — all had se
rious question marks about them.
There was a higher premium on
skill players in the first round. Three
wide receivers went in the first
round and so did six running backs
— including Alonzo Highsmith of
Miami to Houston and D.J. Dozier
of Penn State to Minnesota in two of
the nine deals which made the first
and second rounds seem like a trade
mart.
Linebacker Chip Banks went
from Cleveland to San Diego, which
moved the Browns from 24th to
fifth in the first round and netted
them linebacker Mike Junkin of
Duke.
Fouts and Montana were third-
ground picks — Fouts by San Diego in
1973 and Montana by San Francisco
in 1979.
Chicago Coach Mike Ditka de
fended the choice of Harbaugh, a
projected third-or-fourth-rounder,
in typically blunt fashion.
“We don’t draft for the sake of the
media or the fans,” said Ditka, who
now has five quarterbacks: starter
Jim McMahon, recovering from
shoulder surgery, plus Doug Flutie,
Mike Tomczak, Steve Fuller and
Harbaugh.
“There are a combination of rea
sons,” Chicago personnel director
Bill Tobin said. “Jim’s status is one.
There is uncertainty about his
health. If he is healthy, he’s No. I.”
With the second pick overall, In
dianapolis took Cornelius Bennett,
the Alabama linebacker billed as the
second coming of Lawrence Taylor.
The Colts took Bennett despite spec
ulation they might trade or take a
running back because of the broken
leg sustained by Randy McMillan,
their best running back, in a car acci
dent last weekendf.
Buffalo and Houston exchanged
places, with the Oilers throwing in
their second pick to move from
eighth to third. They promptly took
Highsmith.
Green Bay followed by choosing
running back Brent Fullwood of Au
burn, and then San Diego made its
Paper: illegal favors

AUSTIN (AP) — Promises of free
steak dinners, transportation and
use of coaches’ cars attracted run
ning back Stephan Howland as he
toured the University of Texas with
his student host in January 1985,
according to a report Tuesday.
A pair of black leather pants, a
belt and a sweatshirt — all at no cost
— sweetened the deal, the Austin
American-Statesinan reported.
The newspaper said University of
Texas and NCAA investigators
heard one side of the story from
Howland. There was not another
side until Friday when the host,
freshman defensive back Allen Sur-
via, turned up less than two days be
fore Texas’ appearance before the
NCAA Infractions Committee.
The hearing was postponed and
the University of Texas’ seven-mem
ber delegation headed home from
Hilton Head, S.C., to work with
NCAA officials in gathering and as
sembling the new information in
time for the Infractions Committee’s
next meeting, June 3-5, in Kansas
City.
Knox Nunnally, a lawyer rep
resenting the University of Texas,
said Survia was discovered by an
NCAA agent, acting on information
provided by Texas, on the West
Coast late Friday.
Nunnally and Rick Milvenan, who
also works for the Houston-based
law firm Vinson 8c Elkins, was in a
brief telephone conference call with
Survia and NCAA enforcement rep
resentative Mark Jones Saturday.
Lacking suitable recording equip
ment, they hoped to set up a full-
length interview within the next two
weeks.
“The most important thing is we
didn’t have a recording device,”
Nunnally said. “If we had, it might
have been possible to have gotten
something to the committee on Sun
day. But we didn’t have it, so we’re
going to wait until June and get ev
erything right.”
Nunnally would not identify the
student host or the prospect. But the
American-Statesman quoted a
source formerly connected with the
Texas athletic department as saying
the host was Survia, a 1984 signee
out of Marshall High School who left
Texas after one season and enrolled
at Taft, Calif. Junior College.
The prospect was identified as
Howland, a running back from
Tyler Lee High School who reversed
a verbal commitment to Texas to at
tend Texas Christian University.
Howland’s mother, Josephine
Howland, confirmed the roles of
Howland and Survia when reached
at her home in Tyler. Neither Howl
and nor Survia could be reached by
telephone for comment by the Asso
ciated Press.

deal for Banks, allowing Cleveland
to take Junkin.
“With Bennett not being available,
we rated the No. 1 linebacker in the
NFL for our needs as Chip Banks,”
San Diego Coach A1 Saunders said
of the 28-year-old former Pro
Bowler. “I think Chip felt like he
would like to be on the West Coast.
We initiated the trade and the
Browns felt like it would he a good
deal for them.”
Then came the choice of the 6-3,
212-pound Stouffer by the Cards,
who have been trying to deal Neil
Lomax since the end of last season.
Stouffer had exhibited a strong arm
in training sessions but had ended
the college season projected as a
third- or fourth-rounder because of
an inconsistent senior season.
And while he moved up in the last
few weeks, he was not expected to he
the sixth pick in the draft.
“We wouldn’t have taken him if
we didn’t think he was that good,”
said George Boone, personnel direc
tor for St. Louis, which needs help
on defense.
Things got more predictable after
that.
Detroit took Washington de
fensive end Reggie Rogers; Buffalo
took Penn State linebacker Shane
Conlan; Philadelphia went for Mi
ami defensive lineman Jerome
Brown; and Pittsburgh passed up
Dozier to take Purdue defensive
back Rod Woodson, who had been
expected to go earlier.
New Orleans, which would have
liked to have had Woodson, took
Brigham Young defensive lineman
Shawn Knight, and Dallas followed
with another of the six defensive
linemen taken in the first round,
Danny Noonan of Nebraska. Then
Atlanta took Miller, who
