SEACUACUS, N.J. — Kansas senior Jaclyn Johnson was drafted as the 10th pick in the third round and the 42nd pick overall by the Orlando Miracle on Friday in the 2001 WNBA draft.

Johnson led the Jayhawks in scoring (16.1 ppg), rebounding (7.7 rpg), steals (2.1 ppg) and blocks (0.9 bpg) last season. Johnson recorded double-digit scoring in 24 of 29 games this season and led the Jayhawks in scoring 17 times.
Johnson will join former Jayhawks Tamecka Dixon (Los Angeles Sparks), Lynn Pride (Minnesota Lynx), Charisse Sampson (Seattle Storm) and Angela Aycock (Minnesota Lynx), who currently play in the WBNA.

Heisman winner drafted by Carolina
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — This time, Chris Weinke was the Heisman Trophy quarterback who waited.
The Florida State quarterback was chosen by the Carolina Panthers with the 11th pick of the fourth round yesterday and instantly became the oldest quarterback on the Panthers' roster.
"I kind of figured that would be the case with a lot of different teams. That's just part of it." said Welnike, the former minor league baseball player who will turn 29 in July. "I feel I did the things necessary to be successful at this level."
That he did, leading Florida to the national championship in 1999, then to the title game last season, where the Seminoles lost to Oklahoma. But Weinke beat out Sooners' quarterback Josh Heupel in winning the Heisman.
Heupel had to wait even longer to be picked, going to Miami in the sixth round, the 177th overall choice and the 11th quarterback taken. Among those chosen before Heupel: Oregon's A.J. Feeley, who was 5-for-13 for 87 yards in the only game he played last season.
Being selected on the second day is the rule for Heisman-winning quarterbacks.
The last quarterback to win the award as college football's best player was Danny Wuerffel of
Florida. He was the first pick of the fourth round by New Orleans in 1997 and is barely hanging on in the NFL.
Charlie Ward (1993) wasn't drafted and plays for the NBA's New York Knicks, and Gino Torretta (1992) and Ty Detner (1990) have never been more than backups.
The last Heisman-winning quarterback taken high was Andre Ware, the 1989 winner who was chosen seventh overall by Detroit in 1990 but was a bust in the NFL.
And you have to go back to 1986 for the last Heisman-winning quarterback to have a successful NFL career: Vinny Testaverde, chosen No. 1 overall by Tampa Bay in 1986. It can be argued that Testaverde, who didn't blossom until he left Tampa, has never fulfilled the superstar expectations some had when he left Miami.
The raps on Weinke were his age — he didn't enter Florida State until giving up baseball at age 25
and his inconsistency. But he improved his standing by staying in college for his senior year.
"I'm as prepared as any quarterback in this draft to make the adjustments we need to make at this level," he said. "Because of my age and maturity, my learning curve is a little bit smaller than maybe a 20- or 21-year-old kid. My job will be to come in and study and learn the offense and try to

help this team win." He might get a chance early.
With the release of Steve Beuerlein, Jeff Lewis is the nominal starting quarterback for Carolina, but he has spent most of his career as a third-stringer. That's more than Michael Vick, the No. 1 overall pick can say — he will back up Chris Chandler in Atlanta.
Yesterday's quarterbacks were a mixed bag. After Weinke, Josh Rosenfels of Iowa State went to Washington and Jesse Palmer of Florida to the New York Giants on the fourth round.
Mike McMahon of Rutgers went to Detroit in the fifth round and Feeley went to Philadelphia, largely on the strength of one good game against Washington in 1999. Another former baseball player, Josh Booty of LSU, went to Seattle in the sixth round.
