125. Priest Holmes
Priest Holmes may have played for the high-profile Texas Longhorns in college, but that did not result in a draft selection. Undrafted in 1997, Holmes would sign with the Baltimore Ravens. The Running Back would see no action as a rookie but would rush for 1,008 Yards in 1998 and did well until Jamal Lewis supplanted him as the lead Back for Baltimore. Holmes would gain a Super Bowl Ring out of it, but he sought work as a starter, and he would sign with the Kansas City Chiefs where he would get that opportunity.
