The following
'celebrities'
have died this year, but
weren’t picked by any team this year. However, they have all
been chosen by
teams in previous years. Hopefully by listing them here, it will alert
players
to non-eligible picks & to give those who are now gone their
brief moment
of fame on this site. The other reason for listing them here is that
the teams
who chose them can rue their bad luck or decisions!!
