J. A. Happ

J.A. Happ had a career that could be described as that of a journeyman, as he played for eight different teams, including one twice. But despite this, he had some accomplishments that other pitchers would have been proud of.

Happ was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2004 and first appeared for them in 2007. However, he was still considered a rookie in 2009, when he was the narrow runner-up for the National League Rookie of the Year award. He had a record of 12-4 and an ERA of 2.93, losing out to Chris Coghlan of the Marlins. Happ played a small role in the Phillies' World Series win, earning himself a championship title.

Despite this, Happ was traded to the Houston Astros in a deal that brought Roy Oswalt to the Phillies. This was the start of Happ's journeyman period. Over the next few seasons, he played for the Toronto Blue Jays, the Seattle Mariners, the Philadelphia Phillies again, and then back to Toronto where he had his best season. He had a record of 20-4, 163 strikeouts, and finished sixth in the Cy Young voting, his only such finish. While still with Toronto, he also played in his first and only All-Star Game, but was later traded to the New York Yankees.

Happ continued playing for the Minnesota Twins and the St. Louis Cardinals before retiring with a record of 133 wins and 100 losses.

Gerald McCoy

Gerald McCoy was a highly sought-after player in the 2010 NFL Draft after his impressive college career at the University of Oklahoma, where he was a two-time All-American. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him as the third overall pick, joining a long list of defensive stars in their team.

From day one, McCoy won the starting position as the Left Defensive Tackle. Although his statistics don't fully showcase his value, McCoy was a consistent disruptor, overpowering most of his opponents, and blocking lanes to make way for his teammates to rush the quarterback. In his third season, he began a six-year streak of Pro Bowls, including a First Team All-Pro in 2013. He remained with Tampa until 2018, when he was released due to salary constraints.

McCoy then played for Carolina for one year before signing a three-year contract with Dallas. Unfortunately, he never played a single game for them as he suffered a ruptured quad and was subsequently released. He sat out the entire 2020 season and signed with Las Vegas, but his time with them was cut short after he sustained a knee injury in his first game. That was his last time playing.

Throughout his career, McCoy achieved 59.5 sacks and 334 combined tackles.

Everson Griffen

Everson Griffen joined the Minnesota Vikings in 2010 as the 100th overall draft pick. It took him some time to establish himself in the NFL. Initially, he was mostly utilized on special teams. However, he eventually became a pass-rushing specialist and then the starting defensive end in 2014. Griffen's career with the Vikings lasted for ten years, during which he was selected for four Pro Bowls over a five-year period. He also recorded three seasons with 10+ sacks.

After leaving the Vikings as a free agent, he signed with the Dallas Cowboys before returning to Minnesota in 2021 for one more season, after which he retired. Griffen finished his career with 85.5 sacks.

Eric Ebron

Eric Ebron was selected as the highest drafted Tight End in 2014 with the 10th pick. He was previously an All-ACC player from North Carolina and spent his first four years in the NFL with the Detroit Lions. Although the Lions' performance was not great during his tenure, he helped them make two playoffs and achieved a 711-Yard year in 2016.

Ebron joined the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 and had the best season of his career, achieving personal bests in Yards (750) and Touchdowns (13). He played three more years with mixed results, spending his last two years as a Pittsburgh Steeler.

He retired from the NFL with a total of 33 Touchdowns and 3,837 Receiving Yards.
