A serial killer is not something you expect to hear mentioned alongside a Packers fact. The NFL Draft used to have more than 17 rounds. At one point, it went all the way up to 32. But the craziest part is not the length of the draft. It is who the Packers selected in the 1974 17th round. That pick was Randall Woodfield, later known as the I-5 serial killer. It is one of the darkest footnotes in NFL draft history. Our laughter is not amusement. It is an uncomfortable reaction to the fact that this dark footnote even exists. And we are relieved knowing Woodfield is behind bars for life, where he belongs.
