Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia used the first NFL draft to select Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger, then traded his rights to Chicago for tackle Art Buss before the league meeting ended on February 8, 1936. Berwanger never signed an NFL contract and never played a professional game. Buss, by contrast, became a full-time Eagles tackle, starting all 23 games he played for Philadelphia in 1936 and 1937.
