Brian Orakpo

The 2008 Bronco Nagurski Trophy winner from the University of Texas had a good start as a pro at the Washington Redskins where he was a Pro Bowl Selection as a rookie.  Orakpo returned to the Pro Bowl next year and again in 2013 and as a Redskin he twice had a ten Quarterback Sack season.  The Linebacker would sign with the Tennessee Titans in 2015 where he was a Pro Bowler for a fourth time in 2016.  He would retire with 66 Quarterback Sacks.

48. Bobby Witt

On the surface, 104 Wins and 1,818 Strikeouts should gain Bobby Witt a much higher rank.  He had a 17-10 1990 season that would see him finish second in Strikeouts in the American League so certainly his positioning on the greatest Texas Rangers of all-time should be higher right?

Terence Newman

The 5th overall draft pick in the 2003 Draft, Terence Newman made history as the highest drafted Kansas State Wildcat up until that time.  Newman was a more than capable Cornerback who may have only been named a Pro Bowler twice but easily could have received that honor five times.  His best work was with the Dallas Cowboys where his two trips to Hawaii (2007 & 2009) occurred.

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.
