31. Aaron Beasley

Aaron Beasley had a slow start as he only played 9 Games in each of his first two seasons after being drafted in the 3rd Round out of West Virginia.  That would change in 1998 when he got healthy, and the year after, the Cornerback had six Interceptions and led the NFL in Interception Return Yards (200).  

Beasley played for the Jaguars until 2002 when he signed with the New York Jets.  With the Jags, Beasley would accumulate 15 Interceptions and 7.5 Sacks.
