Starr was a 17th round pick out of the University of Alabama.

.....a round that doesn't even exist today. Admittedly with the number of teams there are today the pick number Starr was would probably still exist in today's draft, though

back in the day, wasn't Starr the color commentator for CBS Football as well, going back to the 70s? I want to say he was paired w/ Lindsey Nelson.
