Mel Blount 'Was Really Disappointed' To Fall To Third Round In 1970 NFL Draft
Briefly

"I was really disappointed," Blount said about falling to the third round. "But when you're young like that, you don't never know God's plan..."
"Because Pittsburgh was at the bottom of the NFL. They were looking for players, and they had the time to give players a chance to develop."
"It wasn't like he didn't have a quality college career. He was first-team Southwestern Athletic Conference twice...yet he slipped to the third round."
"So even though Blount felt he should have been drafted higher...he was drafted into a situation where he could take time to adapt to the NFL"
