Jermaine Gresham was an All-American at Oklahoma in 2008, and despite missing all of 2009 due to a knee injury, he was taken in the First Round by the Cincinnati Bengals, with the 21stOverall Pick in 2010.
James Develin was undrafted from Brown in 2010 and bounced from the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz of the Arena League to the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League before he landed a spot on the practice squad of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Glover Quin came out of the University of New Mexico, where he was drafted in the Fourth Round in 2009 by the Houston Texans. In the four years he was there, he played at various positions (Left Cornerback, Strong Safety, Free Safety), and while he did well, he did not take the gridiron by storm.
Eric Berry played his college ball at Tennessee, where he was one of the most prolific Defensive Backs in school history. With the Volunteers, Berry was a two-time Consensus All-American and was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, so it was little wonder that Berry was the first Defensive Back taken in the 2010 Draft.
It was the Kansas City Chiefs who took Berry with the Fifth Overall Pick, and he immediately went to the Pro Bowl as a rookie as the Chiefs’ starting Strong Safety. Berry only played one game in 2011 due to injury, but he returned healthy in 2012, again going to the Pro Bowl that season and the one after, which netted him a First Team All-Pro.
Berry got hurt in 2014, and after he returned, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was cleared of cancer in the summer of 2015, and he returned that year, healthy and dominant. Berry was a First Team All-Pro in both 2015 and 2016, and he was a Pro Bowl Selection five times in the decade. Achilles problems limited him to only three games over the next two seasons, and he was released in March 2019. Berry's ability to return and play so much despite all the setbacks is a testament to his courage.
The Safety was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team and would collect 14 Interceptions with 445 Combined Tackles over his career.
