Devin McCourty had a long and illustrious career in the National Football League, primarily with the New England Patriots. While his contribution to the Patriots is highly valued, his career statistics may not be enough to secure a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

McCourty played college football at Rutgers and was selected by the Patriots as the 27th overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft. In his rookie year, he played as a cornerback and put up an impressive performance that earned him a Pro Bowl selection, seven interceptions, and the runner-up for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award behind Von Miller.

A versatile player, McCourty was moved to the position of free safety in 2013. He excelled in this position and played a significant role in the Patriots' three Super Bowl victories (XLIX, LI, and LIII). He was also named to his second Pro Bowl in 2016.

McCourty retired from the NFL in 2022 after playing his entire career with the Patriots. He was named to the Patriots All-Dynasty Team, which is a testament to his contribution to the team's success over the years. In total, McCourty recorded 35 interceptions and 971 combined tackles throughout his career.

DeSean Jackson was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles as a Second Round Pick in 2008. As a Wide Receiver, he showcased a unique specialty in the National Football League by using his track-star-like speed to outrun almost anyone and stretch the field. Jackson was an All-Rookie Selection in his first year, with 912 Yards, and he broke 1,000 Yards five times. He was a three-time Pro Bowl Selection with the Eagles, demonstrating his ability to elude runners with his Yards After Catch stats. If a deep ball was thrown while Jackson was on the field, it was practically a given that he was the target!

Although Jackson was mainly used for the long ball, he never finished in the top ten in Receptions, despite being a WR1 for most of his career. His style permitted him to lead the NFL in yards per reception four times (in 2010, 2014, 2016 & 2018), and his overall number of 11,263 Receiving Yards with 58 Touchdowns is very solid. In addition, Jackson provided 463 Rushing Yards with 4 TDs and another 1,352 Return Yards with another 4 TDs. Along with Philadelphia, Jackson also played for Washington, Tampa Bay, Las Vegas, and Baltimore.

However, it is unlikely that Jackson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, as the accumulative stats for Wide Receivers are gradually increasing, and he is likely to fall short. Nonetheless, he has one of the best highlight reels in football!

Archer was drafted by the Cleveland Indians but was later traded to the Tampa Bay Rays organization. He made his Major League debut in 2012 and became a permanent fixture in the Rays' rotation a year later. In 2015, despite having a losing record of 12-13, Archer had his best season. He fanned 253 batters, which placed him second in the American League. His 3.23 ERA was good enough for fifth place, and he also attained fifth place in Cy Young voting and added his first All-Star.

Although Archer never duplicated his 2015 season, he remained a top flamethrower despite his losing record. He led the league in losses in 2016 (19) but had 233 strikeouts. He had 249 strikeouts in 2017, which was also his second and final All-Star game. However, Archer's peak was over as he began accumulating injuries. He was later traded to Pittsburgh in 2018, where he suffered from thoracic outlet syndrome and missed the entire 2020 season. When he returned, he was ineffective, and although Tampa resigned him, more injuries were compiled, and he was only able to play six games in 2021. Minnesota gave him a shot, but that only lasted a year.

Archer's record was 63-89 with 1,454 strikeouts.
