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.

Devonta Freeman was a BCS National Champion at Florida State and was Atlanta's Fourth Round Pick in the 2014 NFL draft. He played off the bench during his rookie season. In his second season, Freeman led the NFL in Touchdowns (14) and Rushing Touchdowns (11), accumulating 1,642 Yards From Scrimmage. This remarkable performance earned him his first Pro Bowl and a Second Team All-Pro honors. It seemed like the Falcons had a talented player on their hands.

Freeman was named to the Pro Bowl again in 2016 after amassing 1,541 Yards From Scrimmage and 13 TD. However, he failed to reach 1,000 Rushing Yards during the 2017 season, and due to a pile of injuries, he only played two games. Freeman was never the same again after his injuries, and the Falcons released him after the 2018 season. He played for two more years, one with the New York Giants and one with the Baltimore Ravens.

Freeman's career statistics include 50 Touchdowns with 6,993 Yards From Scrimmage.

From the University of Washington, Desmond Trufant was a First Round Pick in 2013, all the way across the country by the Atlanta Falcons where he would be an All-Rookie.  Trufant was chosen for the Pro Bowl in 2015, and remained with ATL until 2019.  He finished up his career with stops in Detroit, New Orleans and Las Vegas and had 14 Interceptions over his career.
