47. Russell Okung

Russell Okung came from Oklahoma State as a First Round Pick (Sixth Overall) in 2010, and he was immediately slotted in as the Seattle Seahawks’ starting Left Tackle.  Okung played for Seattle for five years, and as long as he was wearing a helmet, he was starting.  He provided stability to Russell Wilson's left side, and he was a significant factor in the Seahawks back-to-back AFC Championships, and their Super Bowl XLVIII win.

Okung opted for free agency after the 2015 season, and he made the rare (and refreshing) decision to represent himself as his own agent.  Okung signed with the Denver Broncos, and he left the Seahawks after starting all of his 72 Games as a Seahawk.
