From the University of Maryland, D’Qwell Jackson was a tackling machine in the National Football League.  As a Cleveland Brown he would lead the NFL in Combined Tackles (154) and later in 2011 was tops in Solo Tackles (116).  Jackson would later be named to the Pro Bowl in 2014, which was his first season in Indianapolis.  He would have 1,219 Combined Tackles in his career.

A Super Bowl Champion with the Denver Broncos in the game’s 50^th event, Antonio Smith was far better known for his time with the Houston Texans where he was a 2011 Pro Bowl Selection.  As a Texan, he would accrue 27.5 of his career 47.5 Quarterback Sacks and more than half of his Approximate Value.  He would also play for Arizona and Oakland over his 13 year career.

Drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2004, Randy Starks really did not shine in the National Football League until he signed with the Miami Dolphins years later.  In was in the state of Florida where he would be named to two Pro Bowls (2010 & 2012) in two different positions (Defensive End and Nose Tackle) and this would easily be on the best run of his career.  Starks would retire with 42 Quarterback Sacks.

Henry Melton had a nice six year career in the National Football League where the former Texas Longhorn would be named to the 2012 Pro Bowl.  Melton became a starter in his second year (2011) and that year and his third season he was arguably one of the better defensive players that the Chicago Bears had at the time.  A torn ACL in 2013 would render him a shell of what he was and he would finish his career with a season each for the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
