oldschooler Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Here's how a Chiefs-Bengals trade earned one NFL Draft pick free pizza for a year Being the 78th overall pick in the draft definitely has its perks by John Breech @johnbreech 3h ago • 1 min read The Bengals training staff is probably going to want to keep a close eye on the weight of rookie Malik Jefferson over the next 12 months, and that's mainly because he just won a year's worth of free pizza, which is the kind of prize that would likely cause a normal person to gain roughly 40 pounds. The reason Jefferson is getting the pizza is actually kind of crazy. Before the draft, Pizza Hut announced that it was going to give away a year's worth of pizza to the player who ended up getting drafted with the 78th overall pick. If that sounds kind of confusing, there was actually some logic behind it. You see, the 78th overall pick is the 14th pick in the third round, which makes it the "Pi Pick" at 3.14. The fact that the pizza ended up going to Jefferson is kind of crazy, because the Bengals didn't even hold the 78th overall pick when the draft started. Going into Day 2 of the draft (Rounds 2 and 3), the Chiefs held the 78th pick, but they decided to trade it to the Bengals in a deal that allowed Kansas City to move up from the 54th pick in the second round to the 46th pick. As part of the trade, the Bengals landed the 78th pick. At that point, the Bengals held both the 77th pick and the 78th pick. With the picks, the Bengals took Sam Hubbard and Jefferson, in that order. The interesting thing here though, is that the Bengals could have selected the two guys in any order. Jefferson could have easily gone 77th, but nope, the Bengals turned Hubbard's draft card in first, which is why Jefferson is now getting a one-year supply of free pizza.

It looks like they gave him a stack of gift cards so it's not infinite. Usually these "free whatever for a year" deals are calculated to where you get credit for 2 meals a week or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
