One of the best offensive skill players in Boise State history, Running Back, Doug Williams, was taken late in the First Round (31^stOverall) in 2012 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and for a time, it looked like they had a mega-star on their hands.

Corey Graham had a long career where he was primarily listed as a Defensive Back, but he was named to the Pro Bowl in 2011 as a Special Teams Player.

A Second Round Pick from Cincinnati, Conner Barwin played his first four seasons with the Houston Texans, where he was the starter at Right Outside Linebacker for the latter two years.  Barwin had an 11.5 Sack year in 2011 but would have a better year in 2014 when he was in his second year with the Philadelphia Eagles.  That year he had 14.5 Sacks and was a Second Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl Selection.  Barwin would later play for the Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants.

Chris Ivory played at Washington State for three years but transferred to Tiffin University after being dismissed from the Cougars for violating team rules.  Ivory went undrafted, though not because he wasn't good or was playing at a Division II school.  He was injured through most of his senior year, thus scaring off potential drafters. New Orleans invited him to camp, where the Running Back would make the team.
