The 2016 draft unfolded as the league's fifth annual gathering of GLFL General Managers, shaping the future of their teams through a strategic selection process. Hosted at Kam's Corner Tap in Wauwatosa, WI, on Sunday, August 21, 2016, at 5:00 pm CST, the draft introduced a new dimension. Teams were now permitted to retain one player from the previous season, provided the player wasn't selected in the first three rounds. In this dynamic environment, the Milwaukee Mustangs, holding the coveted first pick, made a historic choice by selecting Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers. This marked the first time a receiver was taken with the prestigious first overall pick, injecting a fresh element of excitement into the draft proceedings.
