Re: Who's your worst Saints ever.

Cuozzo started the first 13 games, throwing for 1,562 yards and seven touchdowns with 12 interceptions, before losing his job to Billy Kilmer. The party ended after the season when Cuozzo was traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
In exchange for Cuozzo the Colts got center Bill Curry and the first pick of the draft.
QUESTION: Who did Baltimore pick with the 1st pick of the 1967 draft?
Hint: He went on to a All Pro career and acting career and helped Baltimore reach two Super Bowls.
US OLD GUYS REMEMBER WHO IT IS.

My first guess on this was Bert Jones, but I thought it seemed the draft was a little before his time, and I didn't remember him doing any acting except for an old Miller Lite commercial. I had to google it to find out that it was Moses Hightower...aka Bubba Smith.
