The 1952 National Football League Draft was held on January 17, 1952, at Hotel Statler in New York.[1][2] Selections made by New York Yanks were assigned to the new Dallas Texans.
Washington Post sportswriter Mo Siegel later claimed that Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall let him choose a late-round pick. Siegel, he said, chose Tennessee Tech's Flavious Smith to force the first black player onto the all-white Redskins. If true, Marshall likely persuaded NFL Commissioner Bert Bell to remove the choice from the official records. (Smith, who did not hear the story until years later, was white.)[3]
