From the University of Pittsburgh, McCoy was phenomenal with the Panthers, winning the Big East Offensive Player of the Year (2008) and parlaying that into a Second Round Pick to the same-state Philadelphia Eagles in 2009.

McCoy played his first six years with the Eagles, four of which would see the Running Back exceed the four-digit mark in Rushing Yards.  The “scat back” led the NFL in Rushing Touchdowns (17), Touchdowns (20) in 2011, and rushing yards in 2013 (1,607), and in both of those seasons, McCoy was a First Team All-Pro.  McCoy was a phenomenal player for the Eagles, but he was surprisingly traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2015.

McCoy, who went to three Pro Bowls with Philadelphia, did the same with Buffalo.  As he got older, his skills eroded, but he provided veteran presence on back-to-back Super Bowls, first with Kansas City (2019) and Tampa Bay (2020).

McCoy was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team and retired with an even 15,000 Yards from Scrimmage and 89 Touchdowns.

Playing his college ball at USC, Casey arrived in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans as a third-round pick in 2011.  Casey became an immediate starter at Right Defensive Tackle and was arguably robbed of a Pro Bowl selection in 2013, when he recorded a career-high 10.5 Sacks.  He earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2015, followed by four more in succession.

A Titan for all but his final year in football, Casey had 51.0 Sacks, all in Tennessee, and was a large part of the Titans’ defensive turnaround in the 2010s.

Casey was also known for his philanthropy and won two community service awards. 

A First Rounder from South Carolina, Johnathan Joseph would win the starting job at Cornerback during his rookie year with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Joseph played his first five years in the NFL with the Bengals, netting 14 Interceptions and 273 Tackles.  His next stop was with Houston, and he earned Pro Bowls in his first two years (2011 & 2012), both of which were her only years where he had double-digits in Approximate Value.  Joseph had 17 Interceptions as a Texan, and one final one in 2020 as a Titan with 32 overall.

After going undrafted in 2004, Texas A&M Lineman, Don Muhlbach worked out with the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, before landing with the Detroit Lions midway through the year, where he became their Long Snapper.  Despite botching a snap that cost them a game against Minnesota in his rookie year, Muhlbach held on to the job, and would become one of the most steady Long Snappers in the NFL.

Muhlbach stayed with the Lions, playing 260 Games from 2004 to 2020.  The former Aggie went to two Pro Bowls (2012 & 2018), and while his role was specific, it is a valuable one in football.   

We know that Long Snappers will never make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but if there is ever a specific Hall for this type of player, Muhlbach is one to consider.
