48. Al Smith

From Utah State, Al Smith played his entire 125-Game career with the Houston Oilers, an excellent career for the former Ute.

Smith was a starter as a rookie (1987), and the run-stuffer would become a Pro Bowl selection in 1991 and would be again in 1992.  The latter year saw Smith earn a First Team All-Pro honor, and overall he had 880 Tackles.

Smith was severely injured through most of his last two seasons, playing only three Games and retiring after the 1996 Season.

47. Kevin Mawae

Kevin Mawae played his first four NFL seasons with Seattle and the next eight with the New York Jets, where he had a seven-year streak of Pro Bowl Selections.  When the Jets released Mawae in 2006, the Titans were more than happy to acquire him to shore up their Offensive Line.

At Center, Mawae protected a rookie Vince Young, who had his best season in the NFL, winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year.  Young regressed, but Mawae got better as he aged, going to the Pro Bowl in both 2008 and 2009, earning a First Team All-Pro in the latter, which would be his final NFL season.  

Not a bad way to go out!

Mawae was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019.

After establishing himself as arguably the most outstanding Offensive Lineman in Eastern Washington history (the school retired his number), Michael Roos was taken in the Second Round of the 2005 Draft by the Tennessee Titans.  Roos played his entire pro career with the Titans and started all 148 of his Games.

Roos was a Right Tackle as a rookie, and he moved to the left side afterward, and stayed there until he retired after the 2014 Season.  He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2008 and was a First Team All-Pro that year.  Roos followed that up as a Second Team All-Pro the season after.

Roos never had another pair of years like that, but he was a strong presence for the Titans for a decade, and few can say that.

44. Pat Holmes

Pat Holmes took an atypical route to the NFL, as in 1962, he passed up on the Philadelphia Eagles, who took him in the Third Round in 1962, and went to Calgary Stampeders of the CFL instead.  A CFL All-Star in 1965, Holmes went back to the United States in 1966, though not to Philadelphia, but Houston of the American Football League.

Holmes became one of the few players to earn All-Stars in both the CFL and AFL when the Defensive Lineman earned the latter honor in his second season with the Oilers.  He was also a First Team All-Pro that year.  Holmes was an All-Star again in 1969, and he remained with Houston until 1972 when he joined the Kansas City Chiefs.

With the Oilers, Holmes recorded an even 30.0 Sacks.
