The 1960 NFL draft in which NFL teams take turns selecting amateur college American football players and other first-time eligible players, was held at the Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia on November 30, 1959.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Many players, including half of those drafted in the first round, signed with teams in the newly created American Football League , including the first overall pick and Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon . At the time of the draft, the Cardinals were still the Chicago Cardinals; they moved to St. Louis in March 1960. The Dallas Cowboys were enfranchised in January 1960 after the draft.
