While Chuck Foreman was drafted 12th Overall in 1973, the Minnesota Vikings weren’t certain whether they were going to use him at Full Back or Running Back as he bounced around both positions at the University of Miami (FL). Foreman was told that he wasn’t going to be able to cut it at Running Back at the NFL by his coaches at Miami, and he was determined to prove them wrong, and did he ever!
Traded to the New England Patriots for an Undisclosed Draft Pick 4/20/80.
