275. Josh Sitton

From Central Florida, Josh Sitton would win the starting Right Guard for the Green Bay Packers in his second season in the league and the year after he was a big reason why they would win Super Bowl XLV.  Sitton would only improve from there going to the Pro Bowl in 2012 but he switched to Left Guard in 2013 and would again go to the Pro Bowl representing the Packers in 2014 and 2015 but those years he would be named a Second Team All Pro.  He signed with division rival Chicago Bears in 2016 and for the third year in a row he was both a Pro Bowler and a Second Team All-Pro. 

Jordy Nelson

Jordy Nelson was the third Wide Receiver chosen in the 2008 NFL Draft and he would start modestly in the NFL in his first three years, though it was that third season’s playoff that would really be his coming out party.  At Super Bowl XLV Nelson caught nine passes for a TD and 140 Yards and was a vital part of their championship.  Nelson followed up with a 1,263 Yard 15 TD season in 2011 with a ninth place finish in Receiving Yards and following a down 2012 he put forth even better campaigns in 2013 and 2014 with 1,314 and a career high 1,519 Receiving Yards, the latter being good enough for fourth in the league and a Pro Bowl invitation.

45. Haloti Ngata

In the 2006 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens made an excellent selection by grabbing Haloti Ngata with the 12th pick. Ngata was a former All-American defensive tackle from the University of Oregon, and the Ravens were looking for someone to stuff up the middle of their defence. Ngata proved to be the answer to their prayers.

As soon as he joined the team, Ngata became a starter, and he quickly made a name for himself as one of the best defensive tackles in the league. He played multiple positions on the line, including defensive end and nose tackle, and he excelled at all of them.

From 2009 to 2013, Ngata was a fixture in the Pro Bowl, and he was also named a First Team All-Pro in 2010 and 2011. His immense size and power made him a dominant force on the field, and he could clog multiple lanes at the same time, making it incredibly difficult for opposing teams to move the ball.

Ngata played a crucial role in the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII win, using his strength and tenacity to disrupt the opposing offence and help secure the victory. After his time with the Ravens, Ngata went on to play for the Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles, but he will always be remembered as a dominant defensive force in the NFL.

Over the course of his career, Ngata recorded 32.5 sacks and 517 combined tackles. His legacy as one of the best defensive players in the league is secure, and he will always be remembered as one of the most dominant forces on the field.

Darren Sproles

Darren Sproles was nicknamed “The Lightning Bug” and it was an absolute joy to watch the 5’ 6” Running Back frustrate opposing tacklers on a weekly basis.
