National Football League owners face a deadlock over the 1950 draft with negotiations centered on Leon Hart of Notre Dame.

Hart, Heisman and Maxwell Trophy winner, is described as the league's standout college player of 1949. The league plans a 19-team structure next season, with rejected bids ending Buffalo, Houston, and Oakland franchises.
