Tennessee State fuels draft surge in early rounds
Tennessee State supplied seven players in the first six rounds, the most of any school, as the 1978 NFL draft moved into its final day. Ken Smith of Boston College lingered unpicked, while big-name prospects from Florida Notre Dame and San Diego State also featured among the early selections. Earl Campbell, the Heisman winner, became the first pick by the Houston Oilers, with teams racing to assess small-college talent and potential reshuffles across the draft landscape.
