173. Wes Welker

Undrafted out of Texas Tech in 2004, Wes Welker would be signed by the San Diego Chargers who released him shortly after and he was able to carve out a niche as a backup Wide Receiver and Return Specialist with the Miami Dolphins.  That itself would be a decent career for an undrafted player but the New England Patriots (who are we kidding, Bill Belichick) traded for him and he would become an elite wide out in the National Football League.

206. Steven Jackson

Steven Jackson is the all-time leading rusher for the Rams, passing no less than Eric Dickerson to do it.  A model of consistency, Jackson would record eight consecutive seasons where he rushed for over 1,000 Yards, four of which saw him finish in the top ten overall, including a second place finish in 2009.

Shaun Phillips

From Purdue, Shaun Phillips spent the majority of his career with the San Diego Chargers.  Phillips would secure two ten Quarterback Sack seasons with San Diego, one of which was worthy enough to earn him a trip to the Pro Bowl (2010).  The Linebacker would also have another ten Sack season with the Denver Broncos.

314. Roddy White

A first round pick out if the University of Alabama-Birmingham, Roddy White lived up to expectations in a career that was only spent with the Atlanta Falcons.  The go-to option for Atlanta for years, White had a six-year run (2007-12) where he never fell below 1,100 Receiving Yards per season and would have a pair of 1,300 Yard seasons peaking at 1,389 enough for second place overall in the NFL that season (2010).  He would also finish atop the leaderboard in Receptions and be named a First Team All-Pro.
