16. Joey Browner
A former team MVP on a loaded USC team, Joey Browner came to the Minnesota Vikings with a lot of expectations on his shoulder, all of which he delivered on.  Browner was not just a great ball hawk but was a brilliant open-field tackler and capable of running down any receiver and bring them down with only one hand.  Any wonder why he went to six Pro Bowls and four All-Madden Teams? 

And yes, being named All-Madden matters!

Minnesota chose Browner for their Ring of Honor in 2013.
