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 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.
One of the few Punters to have been drafted as high as the Third Round, All-American and two-time First Team SEC Selection, Dustin Colquitt, played his first 15 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. Colquitt was a two-time Pro Bowl Selection and Super Bowl winner (LIV) with the Chiefs. Following his release from Kansas City, Colquitt had brief stints with Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Atlanta and Cleveland.
At the time of his retirement, Colquitt was in the top ten Punts and Punting Yards.
Don't'a Hightower played for the two-time National Champion team in college at Alabama. It must have been a great feeling for him to get drafted to another powerful team like the New England Patriots. He was selected as the 28th Overall Pick in 2012. During training camp, the All-American won the starting strongside Linebacker position under Bill Belichick. Hightower played an important role in the New England defence and later moved to the weak side while still excelling in his position.
Hightower contributed significantly to the Patriots' success in the 2010s, helping them win three Super Bowls and earning two Pro Bowl selections along the way. However, he opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19. He made a solid comeback in 2021, but it was his final year as a Patriot. Hightower left New England with 27 Sacks and 569 Combined Tackles.
