Zane Beadles was twice an All-MWC Selection when he played at Utah, and he stayed in the mountains when the Denver Broncos took him in the Second Round in 2010.

Sam Shields was undrafted in 2010, but the former Miami Hurricane found employment with the Green Bay Packers, the team that he helped as a rookie win Super Bowl XLV.

Reggie Nelson was an All-American in 2006, and a BCS Champion in 2007 with the Florida Gators.  This collegiate success garnered him a First Round Pick (21^stOverall) with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Phil Dawson was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2012, which would be the only one in the Place Kicker’s career, but this should not deflect from what was a long and successful run in the National Football League.
