Tamba Hali

Originally from Liberia, Tamba Hali was the 20th overall pick from Penn State in the 2006 Draft.  Hali played Defensive End for the first three years of his pro career (all of which were with the Kansas City Chiefs) but he found greater success when he was moved to Right Outside Linebacker for the 2009 Season.  From 2011 to 2015 Hali would be chosen for the Pro Bowl and he would twice be named a Second Team All Pro.  It was an incredible transformation, especially considering this occurred at the professional level and he would sack opposing Quarterbacks 89.5 times. 

A Pro Football Hall of Fame induction is likely a stretch but an honor of some sort from the Kansas City Chiefs sounds appropriate.
