The first overall pick in the NBA draft historically was Howie Shannon, although Ed Macauley and Vern Mikkelsen were taken before the draft as territorial picks
. If you are asking about the 20th overall draft pick specifically, here are examples from recent NFL drafts:

- In the 2024 NFL Draft, the 20th pick was Troy Fautanu, a guard from Washington, selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers
- In the 2023 NFL Draft, the 20th pick was Jaxon Smith-Njigba, a wide receiver from Ohio State, selected by the Seattle Seahawks
For the NBA, the 20th pick in the 2024 draft was Zaccharie Risacher, selected by the Atlanta Hawks
