Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers
Baltimore sent Charlie Shepard to Pittsburgh in 1956 and received the Steelers’ 1957 16th-round pick, No. 185, which became Joe Cannavino. Shepard played all 12 games for Pittsburgh that season and contributed as a runner, receiver, and punter. Cannavino never played a regular-season game for the Colts, so the Steelers won a low-stakes exchange through immediate usable production.
