Mat McBriar

From the nation of Australia, Mat McBriar took his large leg to the United States. A star Punter at the University of Hawaii, McBriar spent the majority of his career with the Cowboys, which was where he would secure his two Pro Bowl Selections.
For a three to four year period, Maurice Jones-Drew was the face of the Jacksonville Jaguars and one of the top Running Backs in the National Football League. Jones-Drew would win the Rushing Title in 2011 and would make three consecutive Pro Bowls, but realistically this is enough to be honored by the Jags and not by Canton.

129. Lance Briggs

Playing his entire twelve year career with the Chicago Bears, Lance Briggs was often in the shadow of teammate, Brian Urlacher but he was nevertheless a star in the National Football League. Briggs would make seven consecutive Pro Bowls, had a verstaile skillset, but his name is never mentioned in Canton circles.  It is morel likely that the Hall will not advance him past the Preliminary stage.

106. Justin Smith

The recipient of five straight Pro Bowls as a member of the San Francisco 49ers, Defensive End, Justin Smith was a major force of the Niners Defense and was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year by multiple publications in 2011. For a five-year stretch (2009-13), Smith was in the conversation for the top Defensive End in football, and the consumate dispruptor had found his mojo.  He retired with 87.5 Sacks and 884 Tackles, numbers that showed he was devastating on both the rush and pass.
