Sean Lee arrived in Dallas as a Second Round Pick from Penn State in 2010 and was their starting Middle Linebacker as a sophomore.  Lee would lead the NFL in Interception Return Yards (174) in 2013, but a torn ACL took him out of the entire 2014 Season.

Despite the setback, Lee returned to the Cowboys, and put forth the best back-to-back campaigns of his professional career.  Lee went to the Pro Bowl with a 128-Tackle year, and in 2016, he improved it to 145 with an Approximate Value of 19.  He was so impressive, that he was chosen to be a First Team All-Pro.

Lee played four more seasons, but injury after injury compounded, and he retired after the 2020 Season.

Philip Rivers did an incredible job at NC State, winning the ACC Offensive Player of the Year and ACC Player of the Year in 2003, while also winning three bowl MVPs.  His success with the Wolfpack, earned him the fourth overall spot in the 2004 draft, and he arrived in San Diego as part of a draft day trade for Eli Manning, the top pick who made it known he would not play for the Chargers.

Spending his first two seasons as Drew Brees’ backup, Rivers took over in 2006 and would routinely finish each season at or near the top of the major passing categories.  An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Rivers led the NFL in Passing Yards in 2010 (4,710) and had 12 other seasons where he cracked the 4,000 Yard mark.  Rivers also led the NFL in Touchdown Passes in 2008 (34) and he never had a year where he had less than 21 TDs as a starter.

Rivers never made it to the Super Bowl, but in 2007 he took the Chargers to the AFC Championship Game, a loss to New England.  San Diego may have lost the game, but Rivers was commended for his performance as he competed with a torn ACL. 

The Chargers were looking to move on, and Rivers played one more season in 2020 with the Indianapolis Colts, still performing at an elite level and guiding the Colts to the playoffs.

Rivers finished his career fifth all-time in Passing Yards (63,440) and Touchdown Passes (421).

From American Samoa, Mike Iupati was an All-American at Idaho, and it propelled him to a First Round Selection by the San Francisco 49ers in 2010.  Not surprisingly, he won the starting Left Guard job with the Niners, and he had his breakout year in 2012, earning First Team All-Pro honors and helping San Francisco reach the Super Bowl.  Iupati was a Pro Bowl Selection that year, and would be the next three years, though the last of that streak was as an Arizona Cardinal.

Iupati played for Arizona until 2018, and he finished his career with two years in Seattle.

Along with his twin brother Mike, Maurkice Pouncey was a star Offensive Lineman, who helped the Florida Gators win the National Championship in 2009.  Pouncey, who was an All-American, would be taken 18^th Overall in 2010 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was their Center for 11 years.

Pouncey proved to be one of the top Centers of the 2010s, winning All-Decade honors with three First Team All-Pros.  Protecting Ben Roethlisberger and opening holes for Steelers runners, Pouncey was also chosen for nine Pro Bowls.

Pouncey retired after the 2020 season, alongside his brother, though it his Maurkice who clearly has the far better Hall of Fame chance of the two.
