While Justin Tuck is unlikely to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, his place in folklore in the place of New York Giants history is cemented.  Tuck was with New York for both of their Super Bowl wins over New England and a case could have been made that he should have been named MVP in both of…
LaMarr Woodley was a beast at the University of Michigan where he won the Ted Hendricks Award in 2006 as the top Defensive End in the NCAA.  As a pro he would have three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he had three seasons in a row of 10 Sacks, but his 2009 season was truly magical.  That year, he…
Louis Vasquez split his seven years in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos, the latter of which was where he saw the best time of his career.   His first season in Denver would see the Offensive Lineman earn his only Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro selections and he bookended that with a Super Bowl…
Mike Holmgren knew he had something special in Matt Hasselbeck when he coached him in Green Bay, but Brett Favre was the team’s starting Quarterback and was already a bona fide legend.  Holmgren would take Hasselebck with him when he took over the helm in Seattle, and his coaching instincts were not wrong.
For a two year period Miles Austin was one of the most dynamic Wide Receivers in football.  Undrafted out of Monmouth, Austin would work his way as a regular fixture in his fourth season (2009) with the Dallas Cowboys and would record a career high of 1,320 Yards on 81 Receptions and go to his first of two straight Pro…
From the University of Wisconsin, Owen Daniels would prove to be a nice receiving Tight End in the National Football League, most notably playing for wherever Gary Kubiak was coaching.
Drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2004, Randy Starks really did not shine in the National Football League until he signed with the Miami Dolphins years later.  In was in the state of Florida where he would be named to two Pro Bowls (2010 & 2012) in two different positions (Defensive End and Nose Tackle) and this would easily be…
A solid Defensive Back from Bethune-Cookman, Rashean Mathis as of this writing holds the record for the most Interceptions in the young career of the Jacksonville Jaguars.   Mathis would make the Pro Bowl in 2006.
From Purdue, Shaun Phillips spent the majority of his career with the San Diego Chargers.  Phillips would secure two ten Quarterback Sack seasons with San Diego, one of which was worthy enough to earn him a trip to the Pro Bowl (2010).  The Linebacker would also have another ten Sack season with the Denver Broncos.
Tim Jennings would win a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts (Super Bowl XLI) but it was his time later with the Chicago Bears where he would have the best run of his career.  As a Bear, Jennings would lead the National Football League in Interceptions in 2012 and earn Second Team All Pro honors.  He would go to the…
William Moore played all of his seven seasons professionally with the Atlanta Falcons.  The second round pick from Missouri started 72 of his 76 Games at Strong Safety and peaked at 2012 where he went to the Pro Bowl.  He recorded 16 Interceptions over his career.
