Patrick Chung

Patrick Chung may not have been a superstar but the Second Round Pick from Oregon was a favorite of New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick, who got ample mileage out of the Safety.

Chung, the son of Jamaican musician Sophia George, and Jamaican music producer, Ronald Chung, played from 2009 to 2019, recording 11 Interceptions and 778 Tackles, and he was with New England for all but one year (2013), where he was with the Philadelphia Eagles.  On Chung’s return to the Patriots in 2014, Chung was a regular starter and helped the Pats win three Super Bowls, and while he is not a serious candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the prestigious New England Patriots Hall should call his name.

Mike Pouncey

Mike Pouncey, the twin brother of Maurkice Pouncey, was an NCAA Champion with the University of Florida in 2009, where he was considered one of the top Offensive Linemen in the 2011 Draft.  The Miami Dolphins agreed and grabbed with the 16th Overall Pick, and he went to three Pro Bowls as a Dolphin.  

Playing mostly at Center, Pouncey was also used at Right Guard on occasion and was there in his second Pro Bowl year (2014).  He would play two final seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, where he had his fourth Pro Bowl selection in 2018.   After sitting out the 2020 season, due to hip issues, he retired simultaneously with his brother.

Matt Bryant

Matt Bryant had a long career in the NFL, but it took years before the Place Kicker made it to the premier league of American Football.

After plating in the Arena League and NFL Europe, Bryant finally made it to the NFL in 2002 with the New York Giants.  Bryant bounced around through the 2000s, playing for Frankfurt (Europe), Indianapolis, Miami, Tampa Bay, and Florida (UFL) before landing in Atlanta in 2009.  It was as a Falcon that he would have his greatest success.

Bryant plied his trade for the Falcons for ten seasons, going to the Pro Bowl in 2016, in a year where he led the NFL in Points.  He also had the highest Field Goal Percentage in 2011 and was third in two more seasons.  At the time of his retirement, Bryant was 12th all-time in Field Goals (397).

Donald Penn

Undrafted from Utah State in 2006, Donald Penn signed with the Minnesota Vikings but saw no action.  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers scooped him up, and he made their team in 2007,  starting 12 Games at Left Tackle.

Penn was entrenched as their starter from then until 2013, going to the Pro Bowl in 2010.  He moved on to Oakland in 2014 and had a second and third Pro Bowl as a Raider.  Penn’s career ended with a final year in Washington, and he retired with 189 Starts in 194 Games.  Not bad for an undrafted Aggie!
