The 1955 NFL draft was held January 27–28, 1955 at the Warwick Hotel in New York City.[1][2]
This was the ninth year that the first overall pick was a bonus pick determined by lottery. With the previous eight winners ineligible from the draw, only the Baltimore Colts, Chicago Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, and Pittsburgh Steelers had an equal chance of winning.[3] The draft lottery was won by Baltimore, who selected quarterback George Shaw.
